It is important for your contextual understanding of our response below that you are aware that the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is not a hospital. We provide staffing for just one Child Psychiatry OOH rota (staffed by Specialist Trainees (STs) at nearby Acute Trusts within NCL).

The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust itself is a small, specialist mental health Trust, with a focus on training and education , which includes a post graduate programme for trainee doctors. We provide a range of outpatient, and mainly psychological, services via day clinics, though we do not provide acute nor inpatient patient services, and do not have detention facilities, nor an A&E department
