Learning Disability and Autism Hospital at Home
“We are a forward-thinking team, we work with complex children and young people, and you will be supported in developing your clinical skills and widen your expertise in CAMHS, Autism and Learning Disabilities”. Penny Foley – Modern Matron
We are the newly formed Learning Disability and Autism Hospital at Home team and we have some pioneering clinical roles where you can make a genuine difference to children and young people’s lives.
We are providing an alternative to inpatient hospital care for children and young people who have a moderate to severe learning disability or a severe degree of functional impairment associated with an autism diagnosis and who have additional complex mental health needs.
The team is part of the wider initiative from the Thames Valley CAMHS Provider Collaborative to provide intensive support to patients in their own homes or residential settings, as an alternative to admission to a psychiatric hospital.
