Abstract: Transition of care represents the transfer from child to adult care. An effective transition maintains continuity of care and presents better clinical outcomes. This process has assumed growing relevance, thanks to improved survivorship of chronic paediatric patients. Actually, there is no a one-size model fitting for all transitions, but each Service organizes its own clinical pathway.
