Provision for dealing effectively with psychiatric emergencies has never been more important than now, with the current increasing emphasis on community care. There follows a description of the psychiatric emergency clinic in Southampton and the changes in its organisation and practice which have taken place over the last few years. It is hoped that this will stimulate discussion on the best methods of providing emergency psychiatric care.
