Reduced services due to Covid-19
Together with the rest of the NHS, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is preparing for the unprecedented demands of the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. During this time, your care may change a little, for example it may be delivered in a different way, or may have to be postponed for a while. We will try to explain why we have to take these steps below.
As a result of the outbreak, we are prioritising the care we normally provide, and some services will be restricted or closed. We will be writing to patients who are affected. If you were expecting to attend one of our clinics in the next few days and have not received a letter, please phone the number provided on your original appointment letter to confirm whether you should still attend.

Service description
We offer advice, support and co-ordination to young people and their families as they prepare for adulthood and help them with the transition to adult health care services.
We provide home visits to:
- Establish ongoing healthcare needs
- Involve young people and their families in planning for their future.
- Work with young people and their families to produce a personalised Health Action Plan which will include information about who can provide the support they need in adulthood.
We can attend Person Centered Reviews at schools.
We offer advice to other professionals around overall transitions to adulthood and adult healthcare services. We work with schools, social care providers and other agencies to support planning for transition.
