- Book Synopsis
- This concise guide takes a practical approach to adolescent and young adult (AYA) rheumatology, encompassing the needs of any healthcare professional working with young people aged 10-24 years. Each chapter contains key management points for readers to readily access disease-specific management, as well as highlighting specific AYA issues and approaches which differ from paediatric and adult practice. Adolescent and Young Adult Rheumatology In Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition has been fully revised with the latest research and clinical findings in the field. The coverage in the book is comprehensive but concise and devised to act as a primary reference tool for AYA practice across the field of rheumatology. The book is designed for paediatric/adult rheumatologists, primary care physicians, nurses and allied health professionals to increase understanding of AYA related topics and enhance the delivery of developmentally appropriate rheumatology health care.

Janine Hackett is a Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh and is also a council member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists. She completed her occupational therapy training at the University College of Ripon and York St John and later gained her MSc from Coventry University. Janine has a long-standing interest in adolescent health and became a Department of Health National Transition Champion in the mid 2000's. She has considerable clinical experience of working in the field of AYA rheumatology, chiefly from her former role as a Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist at Birmingham Children's Hospital. During this time, she was fortunate to be part of a very progressive multidisciplinary team committed to advancing adolescent healthcare, and was co-lead of the transitional care rheumatology service and part of the development of an MDT rheumatology adolescent clinic which went on to win a prestigious BUPA National Clinical Excellence Award for translating research into clinical practice. Janine has been involved in delivering training and education to a wide variety of professionals and has also authored and coauthored several book chapters and articles. She is passionate about ensuring AYA's realise their potential and are able to participate in the activities that matter most to them. This requires a team effort and is thus a keen advocate for multidisciplinary working.
