About us

King's Health Partners is an Academic Health Sciences Centre (AHSC) where world-class research, education, and clinical practice are brought together for the benefit of patients. One of eight AHSCs nationally, our partnership brings together three NHS Foundation Trusts (Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital, and South London and Maudsley), and an internationally rated top 25 university in health research and education, King’s College London. We work to ensure that lessons from research are used more swiftly, effectively, and systematically, to improve healthcare services for everyone in our diverse local population. We work on the most pressing health issues facing the world, including bringing together research and treatment of the mind and body, providing a comprehensive offering for local care from conception to end of life. Our populations have high levels of deprivation and inequality, and a higher-than-average prevalence of a range of conditions, including diabetes and psychosis. We have a broad research portfolio totalling more than £210 million in research grants per year, and the largest range of education and training opportunities (allied to medicine) in Europe. We have a range of world-class research centres, including a National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) funded Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). With combined funding of £130 million, we are third in the UK for Medical Research Council (MRC) awards and are a founding member of the Francis Crick Institute. We bring together more than 46,000 NHS staff with 31,000 students and academics, to translate cutting-edge research into excellent patient care through world-class education and training. We deliver high impact innovation - discovering new insights into disease, transforming diagnostics and unlocking new therapies and digital tools. Together we represent a £4.2 billion partnership, with more than 4.2 million patient contacts each year.
