Cliff or bridge: breaking up with the paediatric healthcare system.
Paediatrics & Child Health 2024 May
Transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is a normal part of the care trajectory, yet the process often leaves much to be desired. In this commentary, I share my family's journey of this care transition, particularly the handover aspect, by providing examples of different ways that relationships were ended by paediatric healthcare professionals. The ending of these relationships often felt like 'breaking up'. I also share an example of a supported handover, which bridged the transition from paediatric to adult care. To improve transitions, we need genuine acknowledgement of the paediatric medical trauma stress (PMTS) experienced by families such as mine following years of interactions in the healthcare system. Along with following transition checklists, patients and families need authentic and meaningful closure to longitudinal relationships and trauma-informed care practices as we move forward into the adult care system.
