About the Andrew Sims Centre
The Andrew Sims Centre is a leading UK provider of regional and national conferences, workshops and seminars, in the fields of mental health and learning disabilities. We aim to meet the educational needs of all health, social care and associated professionals working in these fields, throughout the country. Our provision focuses on clinical and therapeutic practices, service delivery and management, and multidisciplinary working.
All our events are available to staff from NHS Trusts, public sector, private and voluntary (third) sector health and social care agencies.
Our Name

He worked as a Consultant Psychiatrist for Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust when it was Leeds Community and Mental Health Services Teaching NHS Trust. Amongst his many achievements, he was instrumental in establishing Tuke House as a community unit for the treatment of neurosis, developed the specialist PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) service and was heavily involved in the development of the Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders.
