Abstract

Working in partnership with the NHS as a national homecare nursing service supporting both adult and paediatric patients at home receiving parenteral nutrition, we developed a transition training programme with a major centre for young adults between the ages of 13-15yrs on long term parenteral nutrition. The programme was coordinated jointly with nursing leads from the homecare nursing service and clinical nurse specialists for children with intestinal failure. Using the knowledge and guidance of both institutions we developed a transition programme that supports both the young adult and the parent or carers through the process of training and independence.
