Health: Poster to brief on GP visits

Young people from across the UK have helped to design a poster informing other young people of their rights when visiting a doctor.

The poster, which was launched last month, illustrates the medical rights of young people and is taken directly from the key messages found in the General Medical Council's 0-18 Years: Guidance for All Doctors.

John Jenkins, chairman of the General Medical Council's Standards and Ethics Committee, said: "A poster designed by young people for young people should help explain what they can expect from their doctors and how they can help them to provide care in a way that is relevant to them."

It is hoped that the poster will help to spread the message that the rights of young people should be respected.
