Content ArticleInternationally, safety of care in child and adolescent mental health has received limited attention. Attempts to understand this area have mainly focused on issues of safety in relation to safeguarding on the one hand, or lack of access to services on the other. There is a call for clinicians, service developers and researchers to consider harm and safety more generally in child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS). America and other countries have begun to initiate discussions on the possibility of harm caused by psychotherapy, however, the lack of shared definitions as to what constitutes safety and harm present ongoing challenges. To start to rise to these challenges this paper, published in Current Treatment Options in Pediatrics, outlines a possible framework for considering harm in relation to child and adolescent mental health provision.

RCPCH: Epilepsy passport
Claire Cox posted an article in Implementation of improvements
The 2013 Child Health Review into Epilepsy highlighted the importance of clear and comprehensive care plans for parents, schools and others caring for children and young people with epilepsy; providing them with information on how to respond to prolonged seizures. This finding supports the recommendations on emergency care plans as set out in the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) and Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) guidelines. A key recommendation from the review was for clinical teams looking after children and young people with epilepsy to consider introducing an 'epilepsy passport' as a means of improving communication and clarity around ongoing management.- Posted

In this film, Saleyha Ahsan, looks at how the department tries to cope with unrelenting demand for patient space.- Posted
