Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you on behalf of The Queen’s Nursing Institute to the Transition of Care Conference for nurses and all their colleagues working in community and primary care settings who support young people. The conference is the culmination of a two year programme on Transition of Care. We will be joined today by a range of wonderful speakers from a wide field of expertise, who are dedicated to improving the lives of young people transitioning to adult services.

Kath Evans will share NHS England’s perspective and talk about raising the bar and enhancing young adult care experiences. She will be joined by two young people who will share their own experiences. We will also hear from another young adult, Hannah Phillips, who as project advisory group member has been up and down the country with the project, giving presentations about her transition pathway.

Nigel Mills from Great Ormond Street Hospital will discuss the challenges that GOSH clinicians face meeting the NICE recommendations for young people starting transition. We will also hear from the QNI’s Transition Project Manager, Dr Candice Pellett and Sandra Lawton, the project’s Chair, on the learning resource and film.

In the afternoon session, we will hear a parent’s perspective from Feisal Jassat. Multi-disciplinary working will be discussed by Carrie James, a Health Transition Case Manager and her team. And last but by no means least, we will hear how to prepare young people for transition from Dr Su Madge.

We are very grateful to all speakers for sharing their time and wisdom with us. Please do also take the time to view the poster presentations during the breaks.

We are also very grateful to the Burdett Trust for Nursing for funding this programme of work. I hope that you will find the day to be thought-provoking, inspiring and enjoyable.

As a child she spent time in hospital and was cared for at the Evelina Children’s Hospital on happy children’s wards surrounded by peers who no doubt aided one another’s recovery.

Motivated by her own experience of social isolation on adult wards, Hannah is now doing all she can to make sure that no other young person has to go through what she did during this mid-way phase to adulthood. Hannah works collaboratively with medical professionals, such as NHS England, Board for Children with Complex Needs, Evelina Children’s Hospital and the Queen’s Nursing Institute to help make the transition journey an easy and enjoyable one for young adults.
