Successful transfer to adult services is the paediatric team's anticipated endpoint for the care they provide to their patients. The preceding transition process needs to be well planned and designed to address young peoples' psycho-social, educational and vocational as well as their medical needs. Ready, Steady, Go is a generic programme that has been successfully implemented to make the transition process an integral part of the routine care of young people with cystic fibrosis. Used in combination with other initiatives, the programme helps achieve the more seamless transfer of young people better prepared to meet their ongoing needs.
