Our aim is to find low-cost and widely reusable mechanisms to reduce inappropriate referrals. Our key objectives are:
Engage with key stakeholders to identify problems with making appropriate referrals Analyse CAMHS referral data to understand and identify problems (quantitatively) Identify requirements for sustainable solutions Explore with key stakeholders how we can improve the referral process Identify how the best proposed solutions could be embedded within routine CAMHS referral pathways
The Investigators shall conduct a series of focus groups with key stakeholders involved in the referral to CAMHS process; children and young people (CYP), parents/carers, key referrers, CAMHS professionals in order to better understand the challenges that exist with the current referral process. Following this, the Investigators will conduct further focus groups with the key stakeholders above, in which they will suggest sustainable solutions to the problems that have been identified.
The Investigators shall then identify how the propose solutions can be embedded into routine CAMHS referral pathways.
