Transition between children's and adult health services

Transition healthcare plan

Children with complex health needs should have a transition healthcare plan. The healthcare plan should include information to help plan your young person’s transition to adult life. This information should include:

• The health support your child needs. This includes in hospital, school, home, employment and when they are in the community
• How your child will receive health support
• The key professionals who are involved in planning your young person’s transfer between children’s and adult health services
• Those responsible for delivering your young person’s health care support when they become an adult
• How your child is supported to manage their own medical condition
• The plans that have been made for your young person to meet all new staff, so they feel safe and confident with their new arrangements
