Building the Bridge From Pediatric to Adult Neurological Care

In this brief communication, we discuss the current landscape and unmet needs of pediatric to adult transition care in neurology. Optimizing transition care is a priority for patients, families, and providers with growing discussion in neurology. We also introduce the activities of the University of Toronto Pediatric-Adult Transition Working Group – a collaborative interdivisional and inter-subspeciality group of faculty, advanced-practice providers, trainees, and patient-family advisors pursuing collaboration with patients, families, and universities from across Canada. We envision that these efforts will result in a national neurology transition strategy that will inform designation of health authority attention and funding.
