CAMHS

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services

To step up to specialist CAMHS you must first identify which quadrant your service user falls under; this is done by GP Surgery postcode. Then call the duty clinician within that quadrant’s specialist CAMHS team to have a conversation about the suitability of the case. Pass on all notes (incl. any triage/IA and risk assessments/safety plans) to the clinician. If specialist CAMHS has a case to step down to us, they will contact the relevant Team Leader and pass all their paperwork down to them.

A Trusted Assessment (TA) needs to be done from MHST before onward refer to CAMHS.

Watford belong to the CAMHS South quadrant.
