Speaker: Mrs Leona Knox, Head of Research for Solving Kids Cancer UK.

Young Patient Advisory Groups (YPAGs) are initiatives where children and adolescents actively participate in medical research and drug design, contributing their perspective to make studies more relevant and accessible, such as those promoted by the Sant Joan de Déu and Vall d'Hebron Hospitals in Barcelona. There is also the European Yin Yang project, which uses yoga for the inclusion of at-risk youth, although it does not share the YPAG acronym, it demonstrates similar youth support initiatives.
