KHP includes King's College Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas', South London and Maudsley, and King's College London.

Professor Clive Kay, chief executive of King's College Hospital, said: ‘The new KHP strategy demonstrates each partner's resolute commitment to working collaboratively in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.

‘Our strength as partners is that we bring together excellence in research, education and frontline clinical care – for both physical and mental health – and harness the latest technology and treatments for the benefit of our patients locally, regionally and nationally.'

The strategy is committed to leveraging the collective strengths of the partnership in three priority areas: delivering personalised health; accelerating digital health; and improving population health.

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.'
