NHS Sussex has launched a new series of short films featuring local healthcare professionals, designed to help young people understand how to access trusted health and wellbeing support. The series is led by one of NHS Sussex’s Youth Consultants, who speaks directly with professionals about the services available and answers the questions that matter most to younger audiences.
The films address common concerns such as confidentiality, costs, and whether young people can access healthcare without a parent or carer. Professionals
featured include a pharmacist, NHS 111 call handler and school nurse, who
provide clear, practical advice on seeking support for physical, mental and emotional health.
By giving young people straightforward information in a relatable format, the series aims to build confidence and encourage early access to care.
