Transition and Transfer
• Transition should be an active, future-focussed process which is young person centred, but at all times remaining inclusive of parents/care-givers.
• Current guidelines advocate starting transitional care in early adolescence (11-13 years) which fits naturally with the concurrent transfer to secondary school in the UK.
• Transfer of responsibility for care is a single step within the whole process of transition.

Transfer
• Transfer is a single event during the transition process which must be carefully planned and should not solely rest on chronological age.
• Other factors include:– Time since diagnosis and knowledge of condition– Prognosis in life-limiting conditions– Cognitive and physical maturity– Adherence to treatment and follow-up– Personal and parental preparedness / willingness
