Transition from paediatric to adult care

Moving from paediatric to adult care is an important milestone

As a young person receiving care in a children’s hospital, there will come a time when it is appropriate for you to transfer your care to an adult service. At Peter Mac, we understand that this transition can feel like a significant change, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous or uncertain about it.

Transition to adult care involves more than just a change in your healthcare providers; it’s an important step in towards independence and adulthood. Throughout this process, you will develop the skills to navigate the adult healthcare system, and begin to take greater ownership of your health and the decisions that come with it.

This page will provide you with information to help you understand your transition to Peter Mac and how our services work.
