Abstract
The Queen's Nursing Institute (QNI) is leading a project to improve young people's experience of transitioning from children's services to adult community health services. To gain an understanding of the current evidence, the QNI conducted a review of relevant UK literature from the last 10 years, focusing on community and primary care nursing. Despite the lack of evidence relating to effective practice in community and primary care settings, the literature search suggested that nurses could play a significant role in coordinating the transition process and working with the young person to prepare them for adult services. The review highlights that further work is required to translate current policy recommendations into practice, and the QNI will be supporting health and care professionals to improve transition by developing learning resources for district nurses, general practice nurses and educators, and promoting the sharing and application of best practice.
