Hospice UK recently published their report Curious and Confident: learning from the Hospice UK transition programme.
Hospice UK recently published their report Curious and Confident: (this link will take you away from our website) learning from the Hospice UK transition programme for young people with life-limiting conditions.
This report provides a summative evaluation of the impact and learning from a three-year Hospice UK transition programme that aimed to:
“improve the care and experiences of young adults with complex and life-limiting conditions, with a particular focus on improving the ‘transition’ process these young adults undergo when moving from children’s to adults’ palliative care services.”
The recommendations from the report are:
- Harness the expert voice of experience to improve transitional care
- Encourage and support adult hospices to do more to support young people through transition
- Discover more about who is missing out on care so that we can tackle unequal access
- Continue the Transition ECHO hubs and National Transition Network to realise their full potential
- Make sure that local health and care systems consider the needs of young people in transition to adult services
As well as a the report, resources for professionals are available on the Hospice UK website – including a video featuring our young person Hannah talking about her experience of transition from children’s to adult services.
