Young People’s Event 2025
Our popular annual event for, Young People will be taking place on Wednesday, 26th November 2025, from 10.00am to 3.30pm in the Nowgen Centre, Oxford Road Campus, M13 9WU (near MRI).
The event will be hosted by the Trust’s Chairman (Kathy Cowell OBE, DL), and as in previous years we are planning some fun, interactive activities from several NHS Professions/Departments, including demonstrations from:
- Midwifery
- Gynaecology
- Pharmacy
- Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy
- Community Orthoptic Service
- Speech & Language Therapy
- Dental Education
- The Northern Contraception and Sexual Health Clinic
We’ll also need some volunteers for the Orthopaedic Team – who’ll be demonstrating ‘plaster of paris’ techniques again this year!

As well as NHS stand-holders giving practical demonstrations and career tips, the event provides a safe space for young people to also receive general health & well-being information.
At the event we will be promoting membership of our NHS Foundation Trust which is open to children and young people who are aged 11 years or above. Being a member of our hospitals enables involvement and learning opportunities to be more readily received. Opportunities include our ‘Youth Forum’, ‘Volunteering’ and ‘NHS Careers Hub’, alongside providing a forum to share views and ideas. For young members aged 16 years or over, this also gives them the chance to stand for election as one of our governors, and represent the views and opinions of young people/wider general public, and share these with our Board of Directors.
