Managing transition. Support for individuals at key point of change

Managing transition. Support for individuals at key point of change explores a range of transitions commonly encountered by those who receive support from health and social services. The focus of the book is on the individual experiencing these transitions, when he or she moves across organisational boundaries or from childhood to adulthood, experiences ageing or changes in health status. It aims to promote policy and practice that can enable these transitions to be achieved with the most effective outcomes for the individuals concerned. This book is unique in its broad focus on different transitions in various contexts, and its exploration of the evidence for support given to people who risk getting ‘lost in transition’. This makes this publication highly interesting to readers of the International Journal of Integrated Care. People who experience complex transitions require smooth transfers, adequate support and dedicated professionals.
