Around 50% of young people presenting in crisis to A&E are currently receiving treatment from Community CAMHS.

At any one time there are around 390 young people on the caseload of the three adolescent teams (tier 3.5), which work with young people who present with acute mental health needs and crises and the most significant, high risk mental health conditions. The Liaison and crisis team work collaboratively with borough adolescent and crisis pathways to support those young people known to the service who present in crisis via A&E, as well as support the most vulnerable young people through a telephone support system during the evenings and weekend. The crisis team works with young people for the duration of their crisis, and for existing patients, this will be done in conjunction with their existing care coordinator in the Community CAMHs team. The liaison and crisis team works closely with the three Oxleas community CAMHS services, to ensure a coordinated approach to care and careful transition.

The team undertakes assessments for young people who present in crisis out of hours and link with the existing day crisis service for these services. Assessment in the team consists of individual and family assessment. The outcome from the assessment might be admission to a CAMHS in-patient unit, an individual piece of work around an episode of mental ill-health, joint work alongside the Community CAMHS Care Coordinator, or working with partner organisations to facilitate appropriate multi-agency support and intervention for the young person. The nature of the work of the consultant psychiatrist in the team is to provide crisis assessments and interventions, supervision and consultancy to non-medical colleagues and clinical leadership including taking a lead role in managing the interface with CAMHS and hospital departments.

All clinicians within the pathway will provide both crisis assessment, follow up and interventions and will be supported via bespoke training opportunities, supervision and CPD events.
