Successful transition for adolescent survivors of CHD: the Cambridge cardiac transition pathway.

Purpose: National standards to ensure effective transition and smooth transfer of adolescents from paediatric to adult services are available but data on successful transition in CHD are limited. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of our transition pathway.

Methods: Adolescents with CHD, aged 15-19 years, who attended the joint cardiac transition clinic between 2009 and 2018 were identified from the Patient Administration Systems.
