Between June and September 2017, Young Advisors Leicester (YAL) were asked to consult young people on their opinions and experiences of transitioning from children to adult’s local health services by Healthwatch Leicester.
YAL then developed questionnaires for pre and post transition; as well as for parents and guardians on paper and online which were used to retrieve information from our partner organisations and young people in general. YAL also devised pre and post transition focus group plans which were undertaken with local young people’s groups.
From all the data that was collected via focus groups and questionnaires, YAL were able to identify the following main themes: 1. Clarity of transitioning age 2. Transitional plans 3. Access to a transitional worker 4. User Involvement
There were 4 recommendations in the report to address the issues raised by the research.
