UCT provides urgent assessments to children and adolescents who present to emergency department at Northwick Park Hospital or are admitted to paediatric (under 16 year olds) or adult medical wards (16-18 year olds). UCOS offers short term crisis intervention to prevent emergency presentations.
In addition to consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist (this post), MDT consists of a team lead, clinical nurse specialists, psychologist, assistant psychologist, neurodevelopmental crisis specialist and full time administrator.
Brent & Harrow UCT works closely with Brent CAMHS and Harrow CAMHS and there are established good links and smooth transfer of care processes with core CAMHS services.
Central and North West London (CNWL) specialises in caring for people with a wide range of mental and physical health needs and is one of the largest mental health trusts in England. Each CAMHS service has its own local management structure.
UCT has a lead psychiatrist and a service manager. There are three CAMHS UCT Teams in the Trust – Hillingdon UCT, Brent & Harrow UCT and Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster UCT. Each team is led by a consultant psychiatrist and a team lead who work closely with the lead consultant and service manager.
Over the last few years our catchment area has grown significantly, making the Trust’s population more diverse than ever. The area spans the communities of London, Milton Keynes and wider geographical areas of Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire. There are areas of great affluence as well as deprivation, and there are over 100 first-languages spoken in these communities.
We were authorised as a Foundation Trust on 1 May 2007.
The Trust is organised in to three Divisions: Jameson, Goodall and Diggory. Goodall Division is responsible for the delivery of Mental Health and community Learning Disability services in Hillingdon, as well as all CNWL’s specialist rehabilitation provision and CAMHS provision in NW London. We also deliver community physical health services in a number of boroughs in NW London, including Hillingdon Harrow, Ealing and neighbouring System of North Central London.
