There has been a steady growth in the number of community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) working in this country over the last few years. Despite this there are still relatively few community child psychiatric nurses (CCPNs) and those that there are often work in relative isolation. It is difficult to find any articles concerning community child psychiatric nursing, either anecdotal accounts of individual practice or evaluations of a particular service.
