Summary

The aim of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the key conceptual and practical aspects of paediatric consultation-liaison psychiatry. The relationship between physical and mental illness in children and the wider implications for educational and social opportunities are discussed, along with comment on how this dovetails with the emergence of adversity. The need for dedicated paediatric liaison services becomes apparent, highlighting the value of interface work between community child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHs), the liaison psychiatry team and paediatric medical and surgical teams.
