ADULT 22q11DS GUIDELINES FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

 ADULT 22q11DS GUIDELINES FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

 Foreword:

 When diagnosed in childhood, 22q11 is sometimes managed by a multidisciplinary approach. Once the transition into adult hood is made however, or if the patient is diagnosed in adulthood then these safety nets are not available to them and this is where GP and other health professional services become vital for their life long care to be the link to all areas of support that are needed to help them live a long and productive life.

To help assist your patient with their care plan we would be grateful if you could spare a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the care recommendations contained within this document which has been written by Dr Alex Habel, a leading expert on the condition and founder of the 22q11 clinic at Great Ormond Street.
