A new teaching centre to advance the understanding of mental health care has been launched in a joint initiative by the University of Essex and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

The new Belsize Centre has become the university's first London base. It will provide new research opportunities to test the value of psychological therapies.

It will also give opportunities for new masters and doctoral teaching and research programmes.
