Band 7 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Liaison Nurse
We are pleased to offer the opportunity for a Band 7 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Liaison Nurse to join the Child and Adolescent Psychological Medicine service. You will be joining a vibrant multidisciplinary team providing clinical care to children and young people in a paediatric liaison setting.
About the Role
The Child and Adolescent Psychological Medicine service was developed to provide multidisciplinary consultation, assessment and treatment for paediatric and adolescent patients with psychological, emotional, behavioural and mental health clinical needs within the University College London Hospitals (UCLH) paediatric and adolescent division. This includes assessment and management of acute mental health crises presenting to the Emergency Department, occurring on wards / Day Care and in out-patient clinics. The number and complexity of these presentations has increased significantly over the last decade. These posts will predominantly work with this clinical group as a priority, though there is scope to work outside acute crises with UCLH patients requiring mental health interventions.
UCLH Paediatrics
UCLH Paediatrics have inpatient beds based on the 11th and 12th floors of University College Hospital providing general paediatric and adolescent care. Children and young people (CYP) in mental health crisis may be admitted to these wards. The department is also responsible for local and national referrals for specialist assessment and treatment of children and adolescents in both inpatient and outpatient settings. These services include adolescents with complex comorbid medical and mental health difficulties and the Children, Teenage & Young Adult Cancer Service; a national quaternary diabetes team; a rheumatology and gastroenterology team; and a national adolescent rehabilitation service working with Functional / Medically Unexplained Disorders, Chronic Fatigue and other BodyMind or complex conditions.
