About this service
The CAMHS urgent care teams work in conjunction with these local hospitals and existing local CAMHS services to provide access for children and young people up to the age of 18 to a dedicated crisis and liaison service when they are experiencing an acute mental health or emotional crisis.
Our aim is that young people are seen by a CAMHS clinician at first point of contact no matter what time of day or night. We provide rapid response, prompt assessment and where appropriate time limited brief interventions by CAMHS urgent care clinicians.
Referrals can be made directly from A&E or Community CAMHS teams.
How to make a referral: Monday to Friday (9am to 5pm) all referrals should be made by telephone to your local CAMHS team. After 5pm on weekdays and on weekends, please call the CAMHS Gateway on 020 3028 8475 to make a referral.
