Transition readiness and transfer from paediatric to adult care — branching viva

Opening (candidate)

I would frame transition as a multi-year process, not a birthday discharge. I would start now: introduce a transition policy, track and assess readiness, build self-management skills, produce a portable summary and a diabetes emergency plan, identify and introduce adult endocrinology with a warm handoff, and confirm the first adult visit happened. ^{[1] [4]}
