Celebrating Sir David's life and work
On 4 June 2025, King’s College London welcomed friends, family and colleagues from around the world to share Professor Sir David Goldberg’s impact on them, their work and the field of psychiatric epidemiology.
Chaired by Professor Carmine Pariante (Chair of the Psychiatry Research Trust) and Professor Sarah Byford (Head of the Department of Health Services & Population Research), the programme blended personal reflections and professional tributes.
Speakers highlighted Sir David’s many roles — as a brilliant scientist, a compassionate clinician, a mentor and a visionary leader. Stories shared by colleagues from Manchester, London and international collaborations illustrated his commitment to making mental health care more humane, accessible and evidence-based.
The event was co-hosted by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London and the Psychiatry Research Trust.
