It is with great optimism that I step into the role as Editor-in-Chief with Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine. Much progress has been made since inception of the journal over three decades ago, most recently marked by new partnerships with the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland and Cambridge University Press. This is a crucial time for the journal to sustain and build on progress made to date. The journal will continue with the previous tradition of publishing high-quality original research, and will disseminate this research to an audience with the aim of improving mental health for all. I would like to express a huge gratitude to the outgoing Editor from all involved in the journal for the steadfast work throughout his tenure, and I look forward with enthusiasm to taking further steps of progress in this role.

AbstractCOVID-19 continues to exert unprecedented challenges for society and it is now well recognised that mental health is a key healthcare issue related to the pandemic. The current edition of the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine focusses on the impact of COVID-19 on mental illness by combining historical review papers, current perspectives and original research. It is important that psychiatrists leading mental health services in Ireland continue to advocate for mental health supports for healthcare workers and their patients, while aiming to deliver services flexibly. As the pandemic evolves, it remains to be seen whether the necessary funding to deliver effective mental healthcare will be allocated to psychiatric services. Ongoing service evaluation and research is needed as the myriad impacts of the pandemic continue to evolve. In a time of severe budgetary constraints, ensuring optimum use of scare resources becomes an imperative.

The increase in older people in the UK will increase the need for mental health services to run efficient, high-quality services. Multi-disciplinary team assessments, although not new, provide a method of increasing the capacity to see referrals. Two similar systems of multi-disciplinary team assessments from North Yorkshire are reported with evidence of improvement in quality.
