Knowledge and Training Needs of Paediatric Trainees in Mental Health.

Trainees report seeing an increasing number of young people with mental health struggles in the context of paediatric illness. With the increase in presentations of young people to the emergency departments with mental illness as a presenting complaint or as a component of their presentation trainee respondents recognise the need to have good skills in mental health concern detection and initial management. The results of this study indicate needs for more training supports in this area.
