Metabolic bone conditions - moving to adult care video

Moving to adult care is a normal part of getting older. When you’ve graduated from GOSH, your care will continue with the adult team at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) who specialise in looking after adults with your condition.

To support this next step, we have created a short video to help explain what to expect when your care moves to adult services at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH).

The video was co-produced with young people and staff from GOSH and the RNOH The video is guided by Kyrio and Maryam, two young people who take you through their experience of moving from GOSH to the RNOH .

They show you what it’s like to:

• move from GOSH to RNOH
• attend your first adult appointment
• meet members of the adult team

You’ll also hear from staff at both GOSH and the RNOH, who explain the services available and how your care will continue as you get older. The video is designed to be as honest and practical as possible, to help you feel more familiar and confident before your first adult appointment.

Watch the video to learn more about your move to adult care at the RNOH.

Learn more about taking charge of your healthcare as you grow up – including asking questions in appointments and learning more about your care.

Or you can head back to our Teen Space to explore more support and information for young people at GOSH.
