CAMHS Paediatric Liaison Service

We provide a therapeutic service to children and young people aged 0-18 and their families with chronic, acute and life-threatening illness, disability and bereavement.

We offer care to young people and families who require joint mental health and paediatric care in hospital. This may include, for example, where:

• mental health/emotional and family distress result from acute, chronic, life-threatening illness and disability
• mental health and emotional problems present as physical symptoms, such as medically unexplained chronic pain or loss of function
• there are complex safeguarding presentations in hospital including Munchausen by proxy

We also work with paediatric teams and professionals from welfare and community agencies involved with child and adolescent physical disease and disability.

We are based at the Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, which has disabled access, and car parking is available.
