Why UK child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) are struggling: a trainee-led exploratory workshop on systemic barriers and redesign priorities

WHY UK CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE (CAMHS) STRUGGLES: A TRAINEE-LED EXPLORATORY WORKSHOP ON SYSTEM BARRIERS AND REDESIGN PRIORITIES

The difficulties facing UK CAMHS appear to be primarily structural rather than individual; fragmented, risk-focused systems prioritise process over impact.

The study aimed to identify common structural problems in UK child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and establish preliminary consensus on priorities for service redesign. The method involved an exploratory workshop led by higher trainees in child and adolescent psychiatry in the East Midlands; participants engaged in structured discussion and brainstorming on access, patient pathways, continuity of care, decision-making and service organisation, with themes developed iteratively. Fifteen trainees contributed to the workshop, representing diverse professional backgrounds across three continents (the United Kingdom, Asia and Africa), including internationally trained clinicians and an experienced general practitioner. Recurring themes included rising demand and the medicalisation of psychosocial distress, delays in diagnosis and treatment, crisis- and risk-driven care, fragmented pathways and unclear accountability, underinvestment in preventive services, transitions and administrative burden. Five redesign priorities were identified: general CAMHS as the default point of access, triage based on need rather than noise, clearer social and clinical accountability, earlier and proportionate intervention, and digitally and AI-supported workflow redesign. The authors conclude that these themes provide a clinically grounded framework that can be discussed alongside the wider literature on CAMHS service redesign.
