Abstract

Paediatric and adult healthcare services approach adolescents and young adults (AYAs) differently. All rheumatology services should recognise AYAs as a distinct patient group with unique healthcare and psychosocial needs. AYAs require treatment within their wider psychosocial context, taking into account the life changes and transitions that shape this stage of development. Flexible, person-centred developmentally appropriate healthcare, peer support and knowledge and skills training are important for this group of individuals for whom feeling “normal” is of major importance.
