Research

We are a research-active organisation. Research is a key part of our strategy and every year thousands of people take part in a research study at the Trust.

Our extensive research network draws on our partnership with a world-leading research-led university, King’s College London, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trusts. Together we form King’s Health Partners, one of the UK’s first and foremost Academic Health Science Centres.

We also work with a host of medical charities and research partners with a record of innovation in a number of fields, including allergy, cancer, diabetes, neurosciences, and reproductive health.
