Transition
The National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services have highlighted transitional care as an integral component of care for all young people including those with chronic illness and/or disability [Standard 4].
Transition is further supported by the intercollegiate report "Bridging the Gaps: Health Care for Adolescents" [2003], guidelines from the Royal College of Nursing [2004], "You're Welcome" standards for adolescent-friendly services [DoH 2005] and is in keeping with the objectives of "Every Child Matters" [DfES 2004].
