King’s Health Partners publishes new strategy

Monday 16 June 2025


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 Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s, 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.

Welcoming the new strategy, Professor Ian Abbs, Chief Executive of the Trust, said:

“This new strategy highlights how crucial our collaboration is. By bringing together world-class research, pioneering education, and dedicated clinical care we unlock transformative health outcomes.

For the local communities we serve, this strategy will lead to tangible improvements to their everyday health and wellbeing – from earlier diagnoses and innovative treatments to a healthier, more equitable future, built on the shared expertise and unwavering commitment of all our partners.”
