Community Camhs Referral Form - United Kingdom

A Community CAMHS Referral Form is a legal document used to direct a minor patient to a medical specialist within the framework of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). If a child is in need of medical assistance provided by the CAMHS, their general practitioner, psychologist, or social worker can send them to the CAMHS as long as the referral form is prepared.

To complete the CAMHS Referral Form, the doctor or social worker must identify the consultant of the CAMHS they are referring the patient to, include the name and contact information of the minor, and add the contact details of their parent or carer and general practitioner. Explain how long you have worked with the patient, briefly describe the mental health issue they are dealing with, and confirm you have consulted with other services and agencies regarding the referral. Write down your name, address, and contact information and send the form to the local Community CAMHS for approval.
