The inbetweeners: a review of the transition from child into adult care for young people with chronic health conditions.

The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death reviewed the barriers and facilitators in the process of the transition of children and young people with chronic health conditions into adult health services. The report focuses on five issues – developmentally appropriate healthcare, the involvement of children and young people and their parents or carers in transition planning, communication and coordination of care, the organisation of transition services and leadership – and makes recommendations for practice.
