Young People as Experts course for GPs
This session considers the young person with a chronic condition as the expert in terms of participation, peer support and self-management.

- Describe key concepts of participation of young people with long-term conditions and/or disability
- Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of peer support for young people with long-term conditions and/or disability
