Marc Van Roosmalen
Deputy Associate Clinical Director - Professions Lead; Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Luton and South Bedfordshire CAMHS
Research Interests: For the last several years I have been developing and testing, iteratively, a resilience and community-based model of early intervention care in CAMHS, working with schools, primary care, Children's Early Help and Family Hubs/early years care. I have used Theory of Change and Programme Logic Models to design complex service frameworks and evaluation thereof. This is research is pertinent as the NHS 10 Year Plan is requiring services to move from sickness to prevention, and to reduce health inequalities and improve access. The service model serves to improve both.
