Most inpatient rehabilitation services enjoy deep connections with their local communities. Therefore, decommissioning services often results in resentment and risks, which are shared by patients, clinicians and communities the unit serves. In this comment article, we discuss our experience dealing with the closure of a popular local neurological rehabilitation unit and how we tried not just to safeguard our patients but also to take the opportunity to further develop and improve our patients’ experience.

Lithium is the first‐line treatment as a mood stabiliser in bipolar affective disorder, but it is associated with an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Consideration of ongoing lithium therapy in patients with CKD is a relatively common clinical scenario, but there is a lack of clear clinical guidelines and management practices vary. We discuss two cases of patients on lithium therapy who developed CKD, in order to provide a meaningful context to further explore the clinical framework for decision making and management.

Rare medical conditions present significant challenges to medical professionals in their ability to diagnose, refer appropriately, and offer timely treatment and support. These challenges are made more difficult and daunting in cases of rare conditions with no effective specific treatment, making the need for holistic approach to management and support more important. This article presents a case of a patient with a rare condition – erythromelalgia.

The comprehensive geriatric assessment has a significant evidence base in both hospital medicine and community‐based medical care although there appears to be limited evidence of the use of this framework in elderly psychiatric patients. The authors discuss its application in multidisciplinary team meetings for older adult psychiatric inpatients, aiming to improve understanding of a broad range of patient needs and improve communication between team members.

Care of patients with functional neurological disorders (FND) is complex, often with poor outcomes. There is currently only low quality evidence of interventions needed for recovery in the acute phase. In this paper the characteristics of a cohort of acute FND patients managed within a large tertiary neurosciences centre are described and health service provision explored to identify fidelity with best practice.

We present a case of a 27‐year‐old Caucasian male with a background of surgically corrected tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and pulmonary valve regurgitation, who presented with psychotic symptoms. The case presented a challenge in treatment due to the patient's cardiac history and ongoing cardiac‐related health problems with prolonged QTc before initiation of the antipsychotic drug. Treatment included careful monitoring of ECG while on antipsychotics, which led gradually to improvement in his mental state. The case highlights the possibility of a link between TOF and psychosis, the vulnerability of such patients to their treatment and the importance of multidisciplinary support for cardiac side‐effects.

DYT1 dystonia is a rare and genetically inherited childhood‐onset dystonia. Psychiatric comorbidity is increased in patients with dystonia. Here the authors present the case of a 25‐year‐old male with DYTI dystonia, previously treated with deep brain stimulation, who came to the attention of secondary care after a near fatal suicide attempt. The authors also summarise their findings from a literature search on psychiatric disorder in primary dystonia secondary to the DYT1 gene.
