“The transition to adulthood is becoming more complex, longer and more risky. It is a time when young people enter a new and exciting world with new rights – and responsibilities, including legal. It is also the time when they take decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.” Social Exclusion Unit ,2005,
Transitions: Young adults with complex needs

Why is transition important?
Who is this person?Do they know
anything?Doubt I’ll be back….
How do we get back to Childrens services?
That’s NOT what the Paediatric team said!!
Semi-intelligent comment about patients
care
If only I knew what the Paediatric team said!
![Page 8: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why do young adults need a different approach?
• Three great transitions: work to school, home to independent living, parented to becoming independent/a parent
• The brain is still changing - up to 25 yrs to full development• Mental Health in adolescents is deteriorating - and incidence
rises from 1:10 in children to 1:6 in adults• Learning Disability & SEN - uncertain transition services• Patterns of service use and access develop early in life, so
how young people experience services when they first use them will affect engagement as adults
• Avoid crisis presentation & family, school, college, work issues

We know what young people want ..
![Page 10: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We know what young people want ..
• To be listened to and understood• To be taken seriously• A well planned service where the transition and discharge
arrangements happen smoothly , it shouldn’t be left to us or our families to manage it
• Flexible services focused on developmental age rather than chronological age and on our individual needs
• Choice , information and advice to help us make informed choices about our care and to help us move on
• Honesty about what can and cant be kept confidential• Continuity of care – it take time to build relationships • We shouldn’t have to fight for our rights
![Page 11: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Suggested Transition Philosophy
“Paediatric and adult health care professionals need to provide developmentally appropriate health care for adolescents and young adults
with long term physical and medical conditions addressing medical, psychosocial and educational/vocational needs working
together when necessary to support continuity of care“
![Page 12: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Recognised Phases of Transition
• Timely preparation started within paediatric services
• Actively managed and co-ordinated transfers between paediatric and adult services
• On-going developmentally appropriate support from adult receiving services
![Page 13: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Four very simple questions for young people
What happened to you in the past? Evidence that the patient has been given a treatment summary
How does this affect your life now?Evidence that an holistic needs assessment has been offered
What help do you need in the future?Evidence that an agreed care plan exists
How will you know you are getting the best care?Measurement of: One or two key disease related health / wellbeing indicatorsYoung person ‘friendly’ characteristics of the service
![Page 15: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Transition – Young People with poor Mental Health - a distinct group
• There are wide variations in the way transitions from CAMHS to adult services are handled, yet much published literature
• The Government’s mental health strategy – “No health without mental health : a cross-government mental health outcomes strategy for people of all ages”, published in February 2011, states that care and support for young people going through transition needs to be age and developmentally appropriate, involving careful planning to avoid unnecessary disruptions in care. The strategy also confirms that services can improve transition, by :
o planning for transition early, listening to young people and improving their self efficacy;
o providing appropriate and accessible information and advice so that young people can exercise choice effectively and participate in decisions about which adult and other services they receive; and
o focusing on outcomes and improving joint commissioning, to promote flexible services based on developmental needs.

Patient and carer voice on CRGs
• Designed to provide objective input on needs of patients and carers using the services, critical in Transition
• Inform service planning, redesign and specification with patient perspective
• Four places on each CRG for patient and carer members
• Will involve recruiting up to 300 members
• Work of CRGs should also be informed by patient insights and perspectives received via the area teams, and from wider stakeholders for each group
![Page 20: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Generic Paediatric Service Specification
• Safeguarding• Patient safety, medicine’s guidelines• Patient experience• Patient/user/public
involvement/engagement• Clinical effectiveness• Child-appropriate environment• Access• Staffing• Family support• Transition to adult services• Networks – strengthening of SCN’s and
ODN’s• Applicability for CCG’s? Primary
Care?
A generic paediatric service specification should ensure a consistent approach for all in-patient services where children are cared for, perhaps in Primary Care too.
![Page 21: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Children’s & Young People’s Services in the NHS land • Opportunity - Uniform commissioning – Direct and CCG
National process with national engagement More equity, resulting in secure systems for delivery High level input from NHS
• Challenge - Service re-design moving towards integration Precise definitions of levels of skills and workforce needed Whole pathway approach with appropriate Transition to Adult Services Absolute clarity in Service Specifications
• Conundrum - To link all the parts of service pathways from Primary to Secondary & Tertiary care, working with CCGs to commission a care continuum with SCN support.
![Page 22: S65 - Day 2 - 0930 - Transition to adult care for young people](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555664c1d8b42abc5a8b479d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Children’s & Young People’s Services in the NHS England Solution - Specific NHS England Work Programmes
SCN Work Programmes – support to achieve local & national priorities
Pathfinder Working Groups – e.g. developing guidelines from CRG’s for the CCG commissioned elements of the disability/rehabilitation pathway, paediatric diabetes, LTV, Anomaly Scan CHD detection
Working Relationships – Close working vital with:Commissioning bodies - CRG’s, W&C POC, CCG’s, AT’s, LA

• To share learning from existing good practice – successes, challenges
and barriers to implementing clinically and patient designed Transition models
• To define the critical elements of an effective Transition model
• Using the above, develop a Generic Service Specification as a commissioning template, onto which all specialised and complex services can be added, with separate consideration of CAMHS, and young people with SEN and Learning Disability
• Start to consider measurable outcome indicators against which successful Transition plans can be commissioned and monitored
• Work with CRG’s, SCN’s and AT’s to identify partners, LA & others

• Expert advice and commitment from senior stakeholders
• Innovative and transformational opportunities to achieve tangible improvements for patients during Transition through robust commissioning routes
• Linked to other key initiatives (e.g. Peer Review, NICE)
• Endorsed and supported as part of NHS policy, and NHS England priorities through The Mandate
• Strong support from patients & their carers.
