“There is a difference between transition, which is a process and should start early, and transfer of care which is when someone becomes the responsibility of adult services.”

Liz Morris Lead Specialist Nurse in Lysosomal Storage Disorders, Addenbrooke’s Hospital
What needs to improve?

1️⃣ Strengthen the coordination of transition processes for young adults with rare diseases
2️⃣ Ensure that the transition process begins early and allows flexibility for individuals with complex rare diseases
3️⃣ Invest in the development of age-appropriate services for teenagers and young adults
4️⃣ Hold services accountable for their approach to transition

Transition has been described as “the purposeful and planned movement of adolescents and young adults with chronic physical and medical conditions from child-centred to adult orientated healthcare systems”.

But were their experiences planned & purposeful?

#Transition
In the UK Rare Diseases Framework published Jan ‘21, it’s recognised that we must address “the challenges in ensuring continuity of care across paediatric and adult services” to reduce the burden of care on patients and their families.
