Abstract:
This article examines the role of nurses within outpatient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). The authors highlight employment trends towards generic skills-based appointments such as 'clinic workers', and asserts that nurses with specialist training have the skills to fulfill an important role in CAMHS teams but are not fully recognised for their nursing contribution.
