The UKBB has a psychosomatic paediatric and adolescent psychiatry department. Patients with all paediatric and adolescent psychiatric conditions requiring inpatient care and treatment are admitted here and can be treated in an open setting. An interdisciplinary team cares for and treats the children and adolescents in close cooperation with paediatrics if necessary and puts together a comprehensive weekly therapy programme for them.
The department with 14 beds is a central hub for child and adolescent psychiatry in the region and is run jointly with the child and adolescent psychiatry department of Psychiatrie Baselland (KJP BL) and the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinic of the University Psychiatric Clinics Basel (UPKKJ BS). It is also an emergency, crisis intervention, assessment and treatment centre. Thanks to the excellent cooperation between the UKBB, the KJP BL and the KJPK BS, it is established as a joint service.
The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychosomatics at the UKBB admits children and adolescents 24 hours a day and works in close cooperation with regional private practices and polyclinics. It is also one of the triage points for referral to specialised psychiatric facilities in the region with corresponding services.
