The transition from child to adult healthcare services can be a stressful time for children and parents, especially for those with a learning disability, with transition processes being convoluted and time-consuming and often involving suboptimal communication between various healthcare teams. This article discusses the experience of transition for children with learning disabilities and explores some of the measures that are being implemented to improve this process, such as employing specialist transition nurses, commencing the transition process at a younger age, and standardising the terminology used by staff to reduce any ambiguity in transition processes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
