Is there a case for ‘unidisciplinary working’ in child psychiatry?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2021
Extract
In many parts of the country, child psychiatrists currently provide services on their own. This ‘unidisciplinary’ model of practice is out of step with College recommendations for multidisciplinary working in child and adolescent psychiatry (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1990). The question arises whether one model is in fact superior to the other. In this article we look briefly at the history of the multidisciplinary team, describe our own experience of providing a unidisciplinary service and suggest a working model for the future.
