What exactly are 'CAMHS nurses'?

I'm planning to become a mental health nursing and I'll be studying that this September. Are CAMHS nurses registered mental health nurses just working in CAMHS, or are CAMHS nurses a separate thing / profession?

I believe that you study and become a qualified mental health nurse and then apply for jobs within CAMHS where you can become a nurse within the CAMHS sector and work in that role. You can do this right from when you qualify. Maybe even get in touch before you qualify to show your interest and how keen you are to work in this area.
