This session explores ways to develop strategies to help young people and their families to follow agreed treatment regimes. The session features general ideas, as well as specific practical tips, and includes video clips.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Take a history of non-adherence
  • List six different practical strategies for enhancing adherence
  • Identify other people or agencies who can help the young person achieve better adherence
  • Identify approaches to engage with young people and parents

 

By now, you should be aware of the most common reasons for non-adherence. Non-adherence is normal, and a young person needs the support of their family, friends and healthcare team to get the best from their medication. This session will offer you some practical tips to maximise the adherence of young people to medicines and other therapies.
