Health and Mental Health
We want a system that supports health and mental health wellbeing through the transition to adulthood:
- using transition nurses
- using health passports – these are documents that help disabled people to explain their needs and likes
- make sure that different services work together on planning
What we will do next
- work with PAMIS (Promoting A More Inclusive Society) to support more young people with complex needs in transitions by using their Digital Passport
- keep funding Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland services for young people aged 12 to 24 including their Young People’s Transitions Worker
- start a group of health organisations and Scottish Government staff to learn from the work of the clinical network for children with exceptional healthcare needs (CEN)
- work with Health Improvement Scotland to:
- decide if it is a good idea to develop transitions guidelines for health services in Scotland
- find ways for services to be made better
look at the responses to the Long-Term Conditions Framework consultation and decide:
- how the framework should change
- how the work to change things should be done
- how decisions will be made and what work should be done first
- help staff understand how to apply the GIRFE approach and tools
The GIRFE approach was developed to improve how health and social care support is delivered for people in Scotland.
