What is the TANDeM service?
We care for children and young people up to the age of 16 with tics and other movement difficulties.
Our clinic is part of the children's neurosciences centre at St Thomas' Hospital, the largest children's neurosciences service in Europe.
We provide a 'stepped care' approach to treatment, meaning that your child's treatment will be matched to their needs. We offer a range of treatment options, including:
- child and parent or carer therapy groups
- education events for parents and carers
- school liaison
- medicine reviews and follow-up
- individual psychological therapy
- neuropsychology assessments
We work as a 'multidisciplinary' team that includes neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and specialist nurse support.
In order to provide the best possible care for our patients and their families we work together with local services, such as community child health services, child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and GPs.
