Psychiatrists' views of in-patient child and adolescent mental health services

a survey of members of the child and adolescent faculty of the College

Adrian Worrall, Senior Research Worker and Anne O'Herlihy, Research Worker

The Royal College of Psychiatrists' Research Unit, 83 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0HW

AIMS AND METHOD

To obtain a prioritised list of psychiatrists' concerns relating to in-patient child and adolescent mental health services. Four-hundred and fifty-four members of the child and adolescent faculty of the Royal College of Psychiatrists were asked to list their main concerns.

RESULTS

Two-hundred and seventy-four members responded. The most reported themes included lack of emergency beds; lack of services for severe or high-risk cases; lack of beds in general; poor liaison with patients' local services; lack of specialist services; and poor geographic distribution of services.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

The range of themes identified from this survey have served to focus the National In-patient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Study (NICAPS) and several design changes have been made to NICAPS as a result.
