Supporting transition
We provide specialist clinics for adolescents and young adults. This is to make sure we address their needs directly and help prepare their move to adult services. We usually ask to see young people on their own at the beginning of an appointment, if they are happy to do this, and invite parents in afterwards.
Our team
Our team is made up of a group of experts including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists.
We also work closely with the kidney, infectious diseases, dermatology, eye and gastroenterology services, as well as the adult rheumatology and INPUT pain management services to provide the best care possible for our patients with complex needs.
