Abstract

This article outlines a specialist renal young adult service that has been supporting young adult patients at two hospital renal units since 2011. This innovative collaboration has successfully adopted a research-driven, evidence-based approach using the philosophy and skills of youth work to support young adult patients aged 18 to 30 years with their psychosocial needs, together with supporting younger patients to navigate the transition process.
