In her presentation, Dr Holland showcased her important work on the ‘SAFER-YCL’ study, which was funded by the NIHR ARC East Midlands.
This project aims to improve the transition experience for young people moving out of CAMHS Crisis and Liaison teams.
By gathering feedback from young people, parents, clinicians, and NHS managers, her team has adapted a care plan to ensure smoother transitions and better support for everyone involved.
Reflecting on her achievement, Dr Holland said: “I am honoured to receive the Margaret Davenport Prize.
“This recognition is not just about my work, it also highlights the invaluable contributions of everyone involved in the ‘SAFER-YCL’ study. Together, we are committed to enhancing the experiences of young people during important mental health transitions.”
The Margaret Davenport Prize recognises excellence in presentations by specialty trainees and newly appointed consultants in child and adolescent psychiatry.
This award not only highlights a commitment to improving mental health care for young people but also honours the legacy of Dr Margaret Davenport, a respected figure in family therapy and child mental health.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists Faculty of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry annual conference was held in London on September 26 and 27.
