Improving Adolescent Care in a Cross-Sector System

[摘要] Aims Adolescence represents a critical life stage in which there is rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial development. It is the time where the patterns and foundations for future health are laid and thus presents a unique opportunity to promote health and subsequently improve life-long well-being and reduce health inequalities. Mental health problems represent the greatest contributors to disease burden for this population and this contribution is forecast to rise. The World Health Organisation state that adolescents and young adults (AYAs) need health services that are supportive, equitable and effective. The project aims to scope out Adolescent care at London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWH) with a view to improve quality of care for this group of patients.
