Referrals can be made by GPs, healthcare professionals, schools, and colleges
Following on from the NHS ten-year plan, we have restructured our service to become more accessible and provide early intervention where needed. This will mean that you can now access CAMHS support through schools, colleges, GP practices and with plans to be available in more community settings over the next few months.
As a result of this change, we will no longer be accepting self-referrals. For more information, speak to your GP or school/college.
Professionals: Please complete this CAMHS referral form for professionals. Ideally, this should be completed in collaboration with the young person, parent, or carer. Please provide as much information as possible to help us identify the best way to assist.
Completed referral forms should be emailed to elft.spoebedfordshire@nhs.net
