Are you transitioning from paediatric diabetes clinic to adult diabetes services soon or have you moved to adult diabetes care services in the last few years?
Are you 14-26 years old or a parent/carer or a friend (18 ) of an adolescent/young adult with diabetes living in Ireland?
If so, the HSE would like to hear from you about your experience of moving from paediatric to adult health services!
Click this link collector.sensemaker-suite.cโฆ and share your story so the HSE can learn how to improve this challenging process.
This is your opportunity to share how difficult or easy it was, how prepared your clinics were, how different (or similar) the care in adult diabetes services compared to paediatric ones is, and how long it takes and how smooth it is to move to adult diabetes services.
Have your say and share your own or your child's/friend's experience to help improve the transition of diabetes care across the country!
