Start of our research meeting looking at this vital topic of ‘transition and adult care’. Transition can be particularly difficult if you have a rare disease especially one like NEC that is considered as a ‘neonatal disease’ yet we know for many has lifelong complications.

Really pleased to see our SR (rdcu.be/dKmFN) on identification of surgical NEC now in @Ped_Research. 63 methods available but many require external validation to determine which is most effective. @NIHRresearch @NECUK_Charity @DrCBattersby @Marianfknight @nigel_j_hall
