CAMHS Paediatric Liaison Service

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

The service is available to young people and their families that require joint mental health and paediatric care in hospital:

1) Where mental health/emotional and family distress result from acute, chronic, life threatening illness and disability

2) When mental health and emotional problems present as physical symptoms, such as medically unexplained physical symptoms, chronic pain or loss of function

3) 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 QMC which has disabled access. car parking is available.
