CAMHS and Paediatricians Working Together

Paediatricians working together with mental health services form an important partnership in the provision of care to infants, children and young people. This qualitative exploratory study into the interface between child and youth public mental health services and paediatricians was undertaken by Mindful - centre for training and research in developmental health, in acknowledgement of the significant work that paediatricians undertake with clients who experience behavioural, developmental and emotional problems. The project recommendations provide suggestions for consideration by service sectors, professional groups and Government Departments.
