Talia Berry

Re-elected for a second term: 1 May 2025

I want to ensure that the Tavistock strives to deliver best mental health care for its local population.

As a local clinician and parent, I am passionate about NHS service delivery, and I want to ensure that the Tavistock continues to provide expert care for its patients in a timely and expert manner. I have been a governor at the Tavistock for 3 years and have observed its progress through some turbulent times. I am proud that it has retained its legacy as a place of learning and good service delivery. I want to continue to support it through its next phase using the experience I have gained working in leadership roles for the Royal Free Group and UCL, as an emergency clinician and patient safety advocate. It is both a challenge and a privilege to help govern an organisation and I have met some wonderful members of staff in this role and helped the organisation advocate for patients. I hope that I can continue to support the organisation through the next stage of its journey at a time where my lengthy NHS experience will be invaluable.

NHS experience as an associate medical director for clinical effectiveness and safer outcomes for patients. Existing experience as a governor, adaptability and willingness to listen and challenge.
