About Us
“This is a once in a generation opportunity to transform mental health care and research for children and young people”
David Bradley Chief Executive, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust


Who we are
The King’s Maudsley Partnership for Children and Young People will transform our understanding and treatment of young people’s mental health through a unique collaboration between specialist clinicians from the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and leading academics at King’s College London.
Our experts lead the world in approaches to mental health. Together, we host the largest group of mental health scientists and clinical academics in Europe.
The Partnership will benefit children locally, nationally and across the globe. There is no other collaboration in the world with this breadth of skills and ambition.
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust provides the widest range of children’s mental health services in Europe. We serve a local population of 1.3 million people in south London and already provide more than 20 national specialist services for children and young people from across the UK, including perinatal services, eating disorders, autism, trauma, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder, as well as inpatient and community services across south east London.
The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London is a leading centre for psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience research in Europe. We produce more highly cited outputs (top 1%) on psychiatry and mental health than any other centre (SciVal 2021) and have risen from 16th (2014) to 4th (2021) in the world for highly cited neuroscience outputs. Our world-leading research have made, and continue to make, an impact on how we understand, prevent and treat mental illness and other conditions that affect the brain.
Maudsley Charity supports, connects and champions projects, services and the people working in mental health who give those most affected by mental illness the best chance to recover and fulfil their potential. Working alongside South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the IoPPN at King’s College London, we bring together researchers, frontline clinicians, service users, their families and a wide range of voluntary and community organisations to prevent mental illness, improve care and support recovery.
