In emergencies, parents or carers should contact their GP within office hours and NHS 24, out of hours.
NHS 24 will make contact with CAMHS USC (within operational hours) or on call psychiatry.
Typically, Outpatient teams offer appointments in hospitals and local health centres, however, in light of the current COVID-19 restrictions, your appointment with CAMHS may be over the telephone or Video Conferencing (NHS Near Me). They may work with you on your own, in a group, or with your family.
You may be referred to an outpatient team by your GP, social worker, teacher or another professional who knows you. They should take time to explain to you why they are contacting CAMHS.
Our outpatient teams are located in Edinburgh (North and South), Midlothian, West Lothian and East Lothian.
