Abstrakt: In this brief communication, we discuss the current landscape and unmet needs of pediatric to adult transition care in neurology. Optimizing transition care is a priority for patients, families, and providers with growing discussion in neurology. We also introduce the activities of the University of Toronto Pediatric-Adult Transition Working Group - a collaborative interdivisional and inter-subspeciality group of faculty, advanced-practice providers, trainees, and patient-family advisors pursuing collaboration with patients, families, and universities from across Canada. We envision that these efforts will result in a national neurology transition strategy that will inform designation of health authority attention and funding.
