We work with a wide range of networks and partners locally, nationally and internationally to achieve our research and education aims. Our key collaborators include the NHS, local and national governments, the third sector, industry, patients and the public.

 


 

 

Local & national partners

We are a member of King’s Health Partners (KHP) and through KHP we have jointly established the Anticoagulation Reference Centre. Along with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust we bring together world-class clinical services, research and education for the benefit of cancer patients. Our partnership in pharmaceutical sciences is the world’s only formal healthcare/academic alliance in this area.
