Transition from Paediatric to Adult Care: State of the Art and Ongoing Projects
Online Education Workshop on 10 June at 18:00 CEST
As adolescents with chronic conditions grow into adulthood, transitioning from paediatric to adult healthcare becomes a vital and often vulnerable milestone. This change can disrupt care continuity and affect long-term health outcomes without proper support.
That’s why we’re hosting an interactive workshop designed to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge, tools, and real-world examples needed to improve transitional care.
Why this matters
Structured transition programmes aren’t just “nice to have”, they are backed by research, and they lead to better outcomes. In this session, you will hear from experts who are leading this work and learn how to translate their success into your own practice.
What you will learn:
Clear evidence on why structured transitions matter, and what happens when they’re missing.
A look at real-life case studies, including La Paz University Hospital’s education programme and the Stepstones Transition Programme.
Practical insights on overcoming barriers, leveraging facilitators, and building effective transition pathways.
