Moving to adult services
'Ready Steady Go' is a programme designed to help young people with the transition to adult age services.
The programme is aimed at children and young people aged 11 years and over who have a long-term health condition and are likely to require ongoing support from adult services throughout their lifetime.
It helps young people and their families prepare, plan and move from children's to adult services.
