Looking After our Young Patients
We have a range of services for children and young adults to help deal with all aspects of child health from vaccinations through to mental health:
YPF Accreditation
Beversbrook Medical Centre are committed to
providing excellent quality health services in a way that our young patients appreciate - one way to recognise this is through the Practice achieving Young People Friendly Accreditation.
Young People Friendly Accredited services have proven they are in tune with young people aged 11 to 18 years through achieving certain standards to meet young people’s needs. There are up to 7 themes in the young people friendly tool kit that services have to evidence they meet.
BMC is proud to announce that on the 15th March 2017 the Practice was awarded Young People Friendly accreditation as recognition that we are making every effort to ensure young people recieve an accessible and supportive service. The Child Health Improvement Group who recommended us for acreditation have made some suggestions on how we can further improve our service and we would also welcome any feedback from young people themselves. We really value your opinions to help us to ensure we are tailoring our services to suit you. Please e-mail your suggestions to beversbrook@nhs.net

Promoting Positive Mental Health
Here at Beversbrook Medical Centre we recognise the importance of helping young people to promote positive attitudes to mental health and an understanding of what help is out there in the community and online for when they need it. There are a range of services across Wiltshire to help young people maintain good mental health. Everyone feels low from time to time and teenagers and young adults deal with challenging emotions as a part of normal development into maturity. Encouraging self-care and a healthy outlook on mental health from an early age helps our young patients cope with life's ups and downs.
There are several websites who can help young people and their families to help promote good mental health
