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.
Outpatient teams offer appointments in hospitals and local health centres. They may work with a child or young person on their own, in a group, or with their family.
GPs, social workers, teachers and other professionals can make a referral to an outpatient team. You should take the time to explain to the child or young person why you are contacting CAMHS.
Our outpatient teams are located in Edinburgh (North and South), Midlothian, West Lothian and East Lothian. You can find contact details for the outpatient teams listed below.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: As part of an upgrade to our phone system, Midlothian outpatient telephone lines may be unavailable for a short period on Wednesday 9th September from 8.00am for approximately 2 hours.
If you need to contact Midlothian outpatient team during this time please call 07872 421 918. Our normal phone service will resume as soon as the transfer is complete. We apologise for any inconvenience.
