Available until 12 June 2026.
There are 12 million young people aged 10-25 in the UK, forming 18% of the population. Adolescence is one of the most rapid and formative phases of human development. The distinctive physical, cognitive, social, emotional and sexual development that occurs in adolescence demands special attention from health practitioners as their health and wellbeing affects not only themselves but also their family, friends, and communities. Young people also report increasing difficulties accessing health care thus widening inequalities in relation to both mental and physical health.
This conference will present the latest evidence and recommendations on pertinent clinical topics providing you with key actions you can take with you to use with young people and their families in practice.
Topics include:
- An overview of adolescent health
- Adolescent sleep
- Obesity in children and young people
- Digital safety and wellbeing
- Mental health for young people
- Dermatology in adolescents
- Sex, consent and safeguarding in adolescents
Conference Chair:
- Dr Stephanie Lamb MRCGP, GP, co-founder, and Clinical Lead of the Well Centre
