There is evidence to suggest that transitioning from paediatric to adult health care can be problematic for people with rare and chronic conditions, including OA\/TOF. The previous literature suggests that the experience of transitioning with a rare condition is more complex than transitioning with a common chronic condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current study was a qualitative, cross\u2010sectional, survey\u2010based study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were collected through an online survey. Parents of children born with OA\/TOF (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a023) and adults born with OA\/TOF (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a016) were recruited through a UK\u2010based OA\/TOF patient charity. Data from six open\u2010ended questions were analysed using a hybrid approach combining elements of inductive and deductive thematic analyses. Throughout the research process, the SRQR were followed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Five themes were constructed during the analysis, reflecting the experience of parents and adults transitioning from paediatric to adult health care: thrown into the unknown; a cultural shift; stepping back and stepping up; \u2018no transition as such\u2019; and living with uncertainty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings suggested that a formalised, managed healthcare transition is not commonly experienced by people born with OA\/TOF and parents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>We recommend a formalised healthcare transition process in OA\/TOF, including preparation for transition and having a named key worker to manage the multidisciplinary transition process.
