5. Why transition?
“Services will be integrated and care will be coordinated around the individual, with an optimal experience of transition to adult services for those young people who require ongoing health and care in adult life.”
“We have put the interests of a system that is no longer fit for purpose above the interests of the people it is supposed to serve. The system is fragmented, confusing, sometimes frightening and desperately difficult to navigate.”
2013
2014
“Services will work together to make the transition in and out of services, and between different services as smooth as possible”
2014/15

6. Transition in Y&H
Providers and Commissioners across Y&H identified Transition as a priority.
Clinical Network established a working group and T&F group to solve the issue of Transition.
Transition was happening but it all needed to be brought together.

8. In March 2015 the Y&H Strategic Clinical Network for Children established a Task and Finish Group (T&FG) for Transition as part of its work programme.
The priorities for this work were:
Developing an evidenced based, systematic approach to the provision of transitional systems for C&YP to adult care.
To support collaborative working in order to respond and meet the needs of CYP as they transition from children’s to adult services
To seek to provide a generic approach to transition which can be used by all Providers and Commissioners to improve quality of care and develop a patient centred approach.
To improve outcomes and experience for C&YP transitioning from children’s to adult services.
The T&FG brought together commissioners and providers across Y&H to provide and promote a coordinated approach between and within whole health communities including, NHS, health and social care, local authorities, voluntary organisations and other appropriate stakeholder organisations to support the delivery of Young People Friendly (YPF) transitional care.
The outcomes from this work have included:
Identifying of the priorities for transition across the region.
Identifying issues, challenges and barriers for transition across the region.
Exploring integrated, whole system pathways for transition.
The development of evidenced based guidance for commissioners and toolkit for Providers.
The T&FG have developed a generic toolkit and guidance for transition which can be used by Providers and Commissioners to provide evidence based high quality care and improve outcomes for children, young people (CYP) and their families.
