Abstract Purpose Early detection and timely treatment of child psychiatric problems require multi-professional collaboration and interaction between primary and specialized health care. The “eHealth Services for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (eCAP), 2015-2018” project aims at improving child psychiatric services in peripheral areas by developing eHealth tools facilitating better cooperation between professionals working with children with mental health problems. Methods The online booking system allows the primary healthcare professionals in Pohjois-Savo region to book a video conference (VC) with experts in child psychiatry for consultation, supervision or follow-up of care. Background information gathered from the parents, teacher and the child by online forms helps the consult to prepare for the meeting, which can be carried out on computer, laptop, table or smartphone. The developed services will be evaluated based on the log data and user experiences from the pilot phase. Results The services will improve the quality, availability and cost-effectiveness of child psychiatric outpatient services in the region. Increased multi-professional collaboration among professionals will support preventive work, early identification and treatment in natural developmental environments of children. The travel needs for families are expected to decrease. Conclusions eHealth can help to meet the global challenge of providing sufficient, timely child psychiatric services in remote, sparsely populated areas with limited resources, but information security and compatibility of different technical applications require innovative solutions. Furthermore, the people-related factors are crucial in introducing a sustainable change: the users must understand the benefits and receive training to adopt the new tools and routines for their work.

If Child Psychiatric Services are to survive into the 1980s, we believe that practitioners will have no alternative but to make sense of the complicated administrative network on which their future depends. This is an account of one such attempt by three Child and Family Psychiatric teams working in a Health Authority Area.

Although childhood psychiatric disorders are commonly seen in general practice, only a few children in the community gain access to professional help. Whether a child is referred or not depends on various factors to do with the child and family and others, such as what the GP expects from the referral. Severity per se is not the only referral determinant. Whether GPs know what the child psychiatric services in the area have to offer could also be expected to affect referral (Markantonakis & Mathai, 1990). We are aware of the need for general practitioners to be made more aware of the services that we have to offer.

This paper has been prepared by the North East Thames Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Advisory Sub-Committee (NETCAP) in order to draw the attention of the Region to deficiencies in consultant child psychiatric services in the Region. It sets out below the population of each district and the current consultant manpower. These figures have been obtained from the district general managers and in some cases corrected by the local consultants.
