Adult Neurology – Transition Clinic from Paediatric Neurology to Adult Neurology

Adult Neurology & Transition Clinic

Transition is the process of preparing children with chronic illness and their families for the adult health care system.

Transition is a major milestone for a young person and his/her family with a neurological disorder. An effective transition is not just a “handover”, but a planned process of jointly reviewing these complex patients by the paediatric and the adult doctors, with the view to promoting them to the adult neurology clinic at the right time. 

Patients who are not successfully transitioned to adult care may end up without specialty care and may not receive satisfactory adult services. Adequate follow-up, access to newer therapies and appropriate management of comorbid conditions is paramount for each patient transitioning from a paediatric clinic to an adult clinic.

Our aim is to implement a strategy that maximises each patient’s ability to achieve his or her potential.  We take great care to ensure a smooth transition to adult care.
