Liverpool’s CAMHS Partnership

Need:•Approx. 100,000 c&yp•Liverpool is 1 of the most deprived cities in UK •High proportion of LAC, young cares, c&yp with disabilities, BME communities and refugee and asylum seekers

3 1582 (1.85%)

4 64 (0.075%)

Future Challenges:

•Integrated commissioning – funding

•Integrated care – culture, personalities

•Changing NHS – relationship management

•Economic climate and social determinants

GAPS:•Transition – CAMHS to AMHS and Tier 3-4 pathway•Early years and maternal mental health•Neuro-developmental problems (ASD and ADHD)•Mental health promotion •In balance in access – too many at specialist level•In balance in funding and therefore delivery – more focus on specialist than early intervention•Integration at commissioning level

Future Opportunities:

• Integrated commissioning and care• CCG and LCC priorities • Liverpool’s children and young peoples/whole family

agenda• Public health changes• IAPT (Improved Access to Psychological therapies) • Mental health promotion and FYI developments

(participation)• Training menu• Transition • Research opportunities• Neuro-developmental pathway• Datasets
