compared to those referred prior to implementing the measures. Additionally, I interviewed staff and patients to obtain their views on the changes introduced. Results The characteristics of the young people from both the pre and post intervention group were comparable. Of note, prior to intervention, KPI was met in 36.7% of young people with the remaining 63.3% breaching KPI. The interventions have so far resulted in an overall improvement with more young people meeting KPI and less deterioration seen prior to assessment with interventions being viewed as positive in general by both staff and young people.Abstract 1062 Figure 1 Referrals trends over 5 years Conclusion It is important that young people receive the best standard of care catered to their specific needs. These results are promising and provide a further framework for managing this group of patients as although the adverse effects of the covid-19 pandemic have lessened, the long-term effects on mental health are not fully appreciated.
