Planning for the future development of mental health services requires an understanding of the changing demographics of local populations. In this editorial, the author argues that the demographic transition faced by the UK requires mental health services to adopt an approach more typical of public health in responding to the needs of an increasingly ageing population; health advocacy for example. She concludes with recommendations for the future including; greater engagement with communities of interest, a research focus on the community, focussing on treatments and models of care, efforts to lessen the negative impact of discrimination on the grounds of age, more effective workforce planning and training that encompass public mental health.
