The research on paediatric to adult transition is clear and has been clear for a while.
Young people who receive structured, coordinated transition support report smoother handovers, greater confidence, and fewer gaps in care. But those who don't often describe the experience as falling off a cliff.
Best-practice transition programs share a few things in common: a dedicated coordinator, peer mentoring, genuine co-design with the young person and planning that starts YEARS before exit, not months.
