King’s Health Partners publishes new strategy

16 June 2025 - King’s Health Partners (KHP) has today launched its vision of a reimagined health and care system informed by people, education, research, and innovation.

KHP’s new strategy sets out how the partnership will pioneer better health for all, together, and make a tangible difference to our communities.

KHP is a long-standing partnership involving King’s, Guy’s and St Thomas’ and South London and Maudsley, as well as King’s College London.

The strategy sets out how KHP will continue to work together to transform lives in south east London and beyond.

Prof Graham Lord, Executive Director of KHP and a Trust Board member at King’s, said:

“Our strategy to 2030 sets out our bold vision of a reimagined health and care system that truly meets the needs of patients, healthcare professionals, and communities. For this to become a reality, clinical academic partnerships are critically important.

This frontier shift – powered by partnership – will provide patients with timely access to integrated healthcare, equitable health outcomes, and greater workforce and financial stability in the face of increasing demands and overwhelming financial pressures. We are stronger and can do more for people’s health, together.”

Priority areas

To achieve system transformation by 2030, KHP is committed to leverage the collective strengths of the partnership in three priority areas:

  • delivering personalised health – tailored to individuals’ unique characteristics and needs across prevention, diagnosis, and treatment;
  • accelerating digital health – bridging the gap between the translation of digital health and data technologies into clinical and commercial impact; and
  • improving population health – deepening the understanding of our population’s needs, generating evidence for how to achieve more accessible and equitable care.

Professor Clive Kay, Chief Executive here at the Trust, welcomed the new strategy. He said:

“The new KHP strategy demonstrates each partner’s resolute commitment to working collaboratively in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.

Our strength as partners is that we bring together excellence in research, education and frontline clinical care – for both physical and mental health – and harness the latest technology and treatments for the benefit of our patients locally, regionally and nationally.”
