When reading our responses below, it may be helpful for you to understand the nature of our Trust, and 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, via talking therapies, on a day clinic basis.

We do not employ RCNs HCA’s, RMN or Specialist RNs. We have not hired many agency nurses (RGN’s) for at least the last few of years, and then only whilst we have a permanent vacancy. (please note that we only employ around 30 nurses at any given point).

Our off-framework spend on Agency nurses is Nil and has been nil for the past few years.
