| Abstract | irrespective of the presence or absence of chronic illness and/or disability. All young people will hopefully make the transition from childhood to adulthood and, along the way, move from the family home to live independently, from school to further education and/or training and/or work, and from paediatric to adult services including healthcare. Many young people make these transitions successfully. Some, however, will find them difficult for various reasons and this latter group potentially includes young people with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities. Transition is a multi-faceted, active process that attends to the medical, psychosocial and educational/vocational needs of adolescents as they move from childto adult-centred care. The principles have been detailed in recent Department of Health guidance,1 echoing core standard four of the National Service Framework (NSF) for Children, Young People and Maternity Services which specifically relates to young people up to the age of 19 years.2 Development and provision of transitional care for the increasing numbers of young people with chronic illness and/or disability surviving into adulthood is a major challenge for the NHS in this century. Transition is therefore of concern and relevance to clinical practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and healthcare commissioners in both paediatric and adult sectors. |
