Abstract

This article describes the establishment of a monthly meeting of a group of psychiatrists and other agencies involved in the delivery of emergency out-of-hours care in general adult and old age psychiatry. The meetings are a source of advice, information, opinion and support regarding on-call issues. The scheme has been running for over 2 years in the Portsmouth area, and has proved to be a valuable educational forum.
