Abstract
There is significant pressure on the availability of mental health beds for the elderly within the NHS.

Here, the authors discuss their initiative, which provided a solution to waiting times where having a daily meeting of senior clinicians and operational managers focused on arriving at a comprehensive management plan, reduced waiting times, freed up beds and facilitated collective learning across various professions, services and agencies.
