Milestones—
16-18 year olds are considered adults in the NHS and are often treated on adult wards. At 16, you are still a child. We think that until you are legally allowed to vote etc you should still be under children's medical care. It's wrong to force children to have to be in an adult ward.
Some families we feel lost tackling the world of adult care in the NHS once their children turn 16.
