Tavistock Trauma Service: external lectures on trauma summer 2026 lecture 2 (CPD45C)
The dilemma of unmet need for complex trauma
This innovative series of lectures is organised by the Tavistock Trauma Service and is designed to reflect the clinical approach of the work whilst emphasising an adapted psychoanalytic approach with multi-modality and trauma-informed care.
We also use neurobiological and attachment theory to understand the impact of trauma. Our series will present a range of external speakers, each experts in the field, who will bring their own understanding of trauma via a presentation, followed by an audience question and answer session.
Who is this lecture for?
It is for you if you are a professional working within the mental health field who have an interest in trauma. You may be a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, mental health nurse, support worker, counsellor or therapist.
Our talks will cover neurobiology, attachment theory and different psychoanalytic perspectives on trauma, including historical child sexual abuse.

Lecture 2: The dilemma of unmet need for complex trauma
Thursday 4 June 2026
Please note that this discussion panel event will be a meeting format, not a webinar, and audience participation is encouraged. Hence this will not be recorded and only available live.
Lecturer: Tavistock Trauma Service and panel of guest speakers.
This will be a live online meeting to encourage audience engagement. A panel of clinical leads of trauma services in the NHS across the country, working in different ways and different modalities, will engage in conversation together and with the audience to consider their experience of growing unmet need in the context of reducing resources in the NHS. This will be a frank and honest discussion of the ethical and emotionally difficult positions facing those working in the trauma field.
It will therefore not be recorded to promote an experience of safety and collaboration.
