Most of us remember that awkward and sometime painful stage in our lives, when we made the transition from being children to adulthood. Adolescence is tough but it can also be complicated by medical problems, as children move between paediatric to adult healthcare. Australia's Sydney University has launched its first Chair of Adolescent Medicine, together with the Children's Hospital at Westmead in New South Wales.
