Please kindly note that The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a small specialist mental health Trust, and not a hospital. We provide outpatient, and mainly psychological, services. We do not provide acute services, nor inpatient patient services, nor detention facilities, and do not have an A&E department.

We only employ a small number of around 30 permanent nurses at any given point, and only hire temporary nurses whilst a permanent vacancy exists.
