UCLU

Disabled Students Officer

The Department of Health [and/or Department for Educatio] commissioned NICE (SCIE is a subsidiary of NICE) to produce this guideline on Transition from children's to adults' services.  As such, the Guideline Development Group was recruited and tasked with developing an evidence-based guideline to improve practice and outcomes for young people using health and social care services and their families and carers. 
As a patient advisor, my role included;
- Ensuring that review questions embrace patient as well as professional issues;
- Raising awareness of grey literature known to us (for example, patient surveys) that highlights patient issues that may inform the work of the GDG;
- Considering the extent to which published evidence has measured and taken into account outcome measures that patients consider important;
- Highlighting areas where patient preferences and patient choice may need to be acknowledged in the guideline
- Ensuring that recommendations address patient issues and concerns
- Ensuring that the guideline as a whole, and particularly the recommendations, are worded sensitively (for example, treating patients as people, not as objects of tests or treatments).
