King's Improvement Science is a research theme under the Centre for Mental Health Policy and Evaluation.

What does King's Improvement Science do?

The King's Improvement Science team are experts in the science of improving care and implementing change. Our research programme was funded by King’s Health Partners from 2013 and concluded in September 2025. We worked with healthcare partners to help them deliver the best possible outcomes and experiences for patients and staff.

We delivered a range of training, support and advice, and collaborated on research projects which aim to improve care and generate valuable generalisable learning and evidence.

How does King's Improvement Science work?

Our team worked primarily with teams within the King’s Health Partners’ trusts, and actively collaborated with members of our diverse local communities to co-design our research, drawing on the insights of service users, and responding to local needs and priorities.

What did we aim to achieve?

A future where all health and care staff feel confident using research evidence, data, and improvement approaches to design and deliver high-quality care for everyone in south-east London.
