Preparing for Adulthood and Transition to Adult Health Services

Our Children and Young people's services want to give young people information as you move from children's healthcare to adult healthcare. This is called "Preparing for Adulthood" or " Healthcare Transition".

You may be supported by one of our Healthy Family Teams or Community Children and Young People's Specialists. This could be by a Healthy Family Team Practitioner, School Nurse, Community Children's Nurse, or therapist.

This website has information for young people using our services, but the information could be used by any young person. There is also information on the website for families or carers.

There are links available to national or more local services in Nottingham City and County.

Please click the buttons below to look at information which may help you on your journey.
