North West Paediatric Diabetes Network - Patient Involvement and transition
This work stream has been divided into the two areas.
For
transition the aim of the work stream is:
- To develop a transition toolkit to assess, with young people, their competency in areas of transition.
In this work stream we aim to develop a tool to allow clinicians to work with the patient and their carers to assess the young person’s readiness to progress through the transition process. A sub group has been drawn together to develop this tool to ensure that across the region clinicians work with young people in preparation for transition in a consistent way. The aim is to develop a competency checklist, supported by a policy. Clinicians then have a tool to work through with the young person to agree areas of competence and areas where they still need support. Once developed this tool will be offered to the Trusts in the network as an example of good practice for them to amend to suit local needs.
For patient
involvement the aim was set as:
- For
a North West
network meeting to showcase examples of good practice in engagement with young
people and their parents.
The February meeting will bring the network a series of good practice examples of how to effectively involve parents and carers and also children and young people themselves in service evaluation and improvement.
