Transitioning to adult care

“Managing the transition from children’s hospital care to general/adult hospital care.”

We know that the transition from paediatric to adult hospital care is a cause of great stress and concern for many of our TSC families.  Patricia and Sherryn, who have assisted many families, will talk about the sorts of issues you need to consider when your child is transitioning to general/adult hospital care and how you can best manage this transition for a successful outcome for you and your family.

In this session we will discuss: 

  • Why is transition so important?
  • Steps for a successful transition
  • The role of the GP
  • How hospitals can help your transition and tools that are available to help with this
