Transition program
Transition Consultation: Pediatric HCP introduces the transition process to AYA and family. A contact person is assigned (ideally the AYA's trusted HCP), along with someone from the AYA's personal network. Key points are recorded in the Individualized Transition Plan (ITP). Independent Visit: AYA has a solo consultation (parents briefly step out). They complete the Ready Steady Go checklist. The ITP is updated, and concerns are discussed. Joint Consultation: Pediatric and adult HCPs meet with the AYA. A new adult contact is assigned, and the AYA picks a pediatric contact for feedback. Checklist is completed again. Feedback Moment: After transfer, the pediatric contact checks in. The checklist guides discussion; feedback is shared across teams, and follow-up arranged if needed.
