Informal discussions between interested clinicians took place in the early 1980s and a consensus emerged that liaison psychiatry would be best served by establishing a group within the College.
A preliminary meeting was held during the College quarterly meeting in Oxford in 1983 followed by a further meeting during the AGM in Edinburgh in 1984. The College then agreed to recognise liaison psychiatry as a special interest group and it became a faculty in 1997.
Liaison psychiatry is a GMC recognised subspecialty of general adult and old age psychiatry.
The paediatric liaison network is an international group of child and adolescent psychiatrists who work with paediatric staff. We discuss clinical and non-clinical issues, particularly policy and the promotion of mental health in paediatric practice.
We meet in conferences in various UK locations twice a year.
