In healthcare, we use the word transition to describe the process of preparing, planning and moving from children’s to adult services.
We understand that for your patients, moving away from a team of doctors and nurses that they have been with for many years can be scary but hopefully, by getting involved in the transition process, you can feel more confident and happier about the move. To support you with this process Whittington Health have implemented the Ready Steady Go transition programme. Please discuss with your Clinical Nurse Specialist how this programme can support you in planning for moving in to adult health care.
