Some recognition from Penny Dash around the gaps in knowledge at a senior level for CYP Mental Health.
Complexity is through the roof along with demand and expectation - fingers crossed for some radical rethinking!

A walk in the snow felt like a good idea at the time
Thank god the wellies have no holes in!
One of the things I’m most proud of at work is that all of the Consultant posts we have are substantively filled. The difference it makes to CYP and families as well as the wider MDT is so clear. We need a long term plan for the C&A Psychiatric workforce…

Got very overexcited preparing for a care plan redesign sprint today.
Finding the tab set and contents page was almost too much excitement!
If anyone has any examples of digital CYP mental health care plan templates that can be created in an EPR they will be greatfully received!

Average reading age of 9 in England - if complex language is needed between professionals there should be a plain English explanation of what it means!
Really helpful podcast on the topic of ADHD podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
I think the challenge is if the assessor just thinks symptomatically about ADHD what else could be lurking around can be missed so it’s so important to get a robust and high quality developmental history etc…
My most predictable trait is my FOMO so it was always inevitable!
