By bringing staff and students together from across King’s Health Partners, we foster a culture where our clinicians teach, our researchers practice, and our teachers research. This enables us to drive real change and ensure our patients have access to the best possible care informed by the latest research.

Alongside our Clinical Academic Groups (CAGs), which brings clinical and academic experts together from across their fields of expertise, our five Clinical Academic Partnerships (CAPs) provide the foundations of our partnership and ensure integrated ways of working across research, education and clinical practice.

Our Clinical Academic Partnerships harness our partners' combined expertise in five specialties:

  • Cardiovascular and Respiratory;
  • Diabetes, Endocrinology and Obesity;
  • Haematology;
  • Neurosciences; and
  • Women and Children’s Health.

This ensures even closer integrated ways of working to drive internationally competitive outcomes. These areas of focus were chosen because of not only our combined strengths in them, but also to target our focus on the needs of our local communities.

Through the CAPs and CAGs we encourage integrated ways of working to deliver real benefit to our patients, through efforts such as the consolidation of key research, international education programmes, and sharing resources and skills so patients benefit in a quicker and more sustainable way.

In addition - KHP Academic Surgery unites the surgical and perioperative community across King's Health Partners, while the Rare Disease Network seeks to unite our clinical and research communities with the shared vision of delivering better health outcomes and improving the lives of those affected by rare diseases.  

Our Mind & Body programme works closely with all our teams to better join up mental and physical healthcare, training, and research to improve mental and physical health outcomes for everyone.
