Who we are

King’s Patient Safety and Service Quality Research Centre (King's PSSQ) is one of only two nationally designated Patient Safety and Service Quality centres. The centres are funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), and established as part of the Government’s 'Best Research for Best Health’ strategy.

King's PSSQ has been formed through a strong working partnership that brings together the expertise of King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and King’s College London. Senior members of staff from both organisations are working together to research techniques to improve services throughout the health service.

We have an important role to play in the King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre. This pioneering collaboration between King’s College London and King’s College Hospital, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trusts, aims to bring about fast, effective improvements for patients in London and beyond by combining the best of research, clinical excellence and world-class teaching.
