King’s Health Partners

 

King’s Health Partners is an Academic Health Science Centre where world-class research, education and clinical practice are brought together for the benefit of patients.

We want to make sure that the lessons from research are used more swiftly, effectively and systematically to improve healthcare services for people with physical and mental health care problems.

The mind and body are inseparable, and mental and physical health conditions are often connected. When mental and physical health problems are combined, people are less able to manage their conditions properly and their health outcomes become worse. This short animation introduces the connections between mental and physical health and some of the ways we can work to improve care for people with multiple healthcare needs.
