NHS England and Improvement has commissioned the development of a core capabilities framework for the transition of young people into adult services.

Currently there is no national framework that addresses the needs of young people transitioning into adult services. This new framework will identify and describe the core skills and knowledge which the healthcare workforce needs in order to deliver high quality, compassionate, personalised and developmentally appropriate healthcare for young people transitioning from children’s to adult physical and mental health services.

This will ensure young people remain engaged with their care and treatment to improve theirs and their family experience alongside improving long term health outcomes.

Whether you are a healthcare member of staff, young person, parent or carer your views are very important to the development of the framework. Please give your feedback by completing this survey. The survey will be live from until Sunday 22 August 2021.
