The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is the UK's premier mental health training organisation with a particular emphasis on multi-disciplinary work and co-operation. To address contemporary issues, share good practices and exchange information and ideas, the Tavistock and Portman Clinics run conferences and study days every year. Many of the programmes are multi-disciplinary and so may also be of interest to others outside the named professional groups for developing therapeutic skills and in furthering professional development.
