There are substantial health inequalities in south east London, and disparities in health outcomes are particularly pronounced in women and children – especially among women from black African, black Caribbean, South Asian and other non-white British ethnic groups.
Our vision is to improve health outcomes for women and children, with a focus on populations disproportionately affected by adverse health.
Our Clinical Academic Partnership exists to improve evidence-based practice, and we aim to support improvements in research, education, and healthcare locally, nationally, and globally.
Our strategic priorities are to improve women’s and children’s health by facilitating connectivity across the partnership. We do this by:
We are closing the translation gaps between best evidence and practice by embedding research and evaluation in clinical practice. Ask the Institute is a research advisory service designed specifically to help support better connectivity between the NHS and the academic community.
By providing practical and technical support to develop and deliver research; support to develop and deliver multi-professional training; and connecting colleagues for high-impact research, career development and networking.
Ask the Institute provides a mechanism through which we share and build on Learning Health System expertise developed via the Children and Young People’s Health Partnership (CYPHP) model. We support colleagues to develop and deliver low-resource, high-impact research, connecting King’s College London and the NHS to realise the potential of health data for care and research.
