Through our association with King’s College Hospital, we are part of the King’s College London (KCL) university family, and many of our consultants hold academic posts at KCL. We conduct a number of research projects collaboratively with KCL as well as a number of projects on our own. It’s been well documented that research active medical centres have better medical outcomes for patients than those that don’t engage in research. Our research-rich environment ensures that we are continually at the forefront of science and knowledge.
