The national transition support team, working in partnership with National Strategies and the Care Services Improvement Partnership, would like to invite you to a pan-regional transition seminar.

The aim of the seminar will be to learn more about the Transition Support Programme and the national transition support team, hear from regional support agencies about support available to local areas, and work together to map and plan regional and local activity.
