STAFFING MODELS
THE CHALLENGE
Workforce pressures in The NHS require urgent solutions.
Rising demand across NHS CAMHS services is placing significant pressure on teams, impacting waiting times, service delivery, and clinical outcomes. Securing experienced clinicians quickly is essential to maintaining safe and effective care pathways.
Referral demand is exceeding service capacity
CAMHS services across the NHS are experiencing sustained increases in referrals, particularly across neurodevelopmental and community pathways. Workforce shortages are contributing to growing backlogs, extended waiting times, and increased pressure on existing teams.
Specialist CAMHS clinicians are in short supply
Sourcing clinicians with the right CAMHS experience; including psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and therapists, remains a key challenge. Traditional recruitment routes often struggle to identify professionals with the clinical expertise and NHS experience required to deliver high-quality care.
MDT gaps disrupt service delivery
Gaps within multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) can delay assessments, slow interventions, and impact patient flow. A missing psychologist, RMN, OT, or SLT can affect the entire pathway, making consistent staffing critical to maintaining service performance.
Inconsistent staffing impacts quality and continuity
Reliance on underqualified or inexperienced staff can affect clinical outcomes, continuity of care, and patient experience. NHS CAMHS services require clinicians who are not only qualified, but confident working within NHS frameworks, safeguarding processes, and multidisciplinary teams.
