CAMHS - AMHS Transitions Day January 2010
Following
the enthusiastic response to the CAMHS-LD Interface Day
that took place on 6th October, QINMAC held a
CAMHS-AMHS (Adult Mental Health Services) Joint Working Day on
Friday 29th January 2010.
The day was chaired by Carol-Anne Murphy
(Nurse Consultant in Transitions, Five Boroughs Partnership NHS
Trust), and provided an opportunity for staff working in Tiers 2
and 3 to discuss current protocol regarding the transition of young
people from CAMHS to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS).
The day incorporated presentations from
members of Tier 2 and 3 services, who spoke about protocols their
own services have in place regarding transitions, the results from
recent audits and what these imply. Two young people from the Very
Important Kids (VIK) panel also provided a valuable insight
into how they believe services can improve the way in which
transitions are dealt with, and offered useful ideas for
improvement from the perspective of a service user.
The day ended with a workshop looking at current problems Tier 2
and 3 services are facing, along with the next
steps for transitions.
