We welcome media enquiries on a broad range of subjects, not just those directly relating to mental health.
We are a unique NHS mental health trust, internationally-renowned for our specialist clinicians, who range from psychotherapists and psychologists to psychiatrists and social workers.
We are thought leaders in our field, covering a very wide range of expertise, and employ many respected professionals who have extensive experience of working with the media: including television, radio, print and online. We are often the first port of call for journalists, producers and researchers looking for the opinion of a mental health expert, and we welcome a wide-range of media enquiries.
