From a young age I have been enmeshed into healthcare through my own condition: Christmases, Birthdays, the hospital very quickly became my second home.

Aged 13 as an inpatient I gathered young people on the ward and discussed the care we were being provided. After gathering the concerns I approached the Play Specialist to form a hospital youth forum and have a say on policy areas. This was my entrance into patient advocacy.

Now I am committed to activating patients towards contributing to their own care and embedding pathways for their contributions in every area. Being appointed a member of the NHS England Youth Forum I've engulfed myself in national consultation to truly represent patients. Since, I have broken into historically traditional institutions, such as the National Institute of Clinical Excellence and Health Education England, to encourage co-devising alongside patients.

Right now we are seeing a revolution for healthcare to centring change around the patient, and in my talk I am bringing this conversation to the digital world. I strongly believe that a harmonious whole can only be achieved with a complete reappraisal of the medical hierachy, resulting in the valuing of patitraits' contribution to decision making, as well as the experience and knowledge from experts and providers of other areas of life (education, social care, employment for instance).
