Readiness Checklist for Youth

Are you getting ready to transfer to adult care? 

Are you ready to take on more responsibility for your health care?

If you are a youth with a health condition who is followed at IWK Health, your care will be transferred to an adult specialist or to your primary care provider.  Your primary care provider is your family physician or nurse practitioner.  Starting early to build the skills you need to take care of your health can make the transition to adult care much easier.

The Readiness Checklist helps you keep track of some of the tasks you need to learn to manage your own health care.  You may want to complete the checklist routinely to see how your skills are improving and where you might need to ask for help from family, caregivers, and your health care team.

NEW! The Readiness Checklist is now in a fillable form that you can save and send to your health care provider.

Remember, you should also ask your health care team and your primary care provider about your transition to adult care.  Sharing your Readiness Checklist and your goals for becoming more independent with your health care is a great start!
