Palliative Care, Policy and Rehabilitation

We are a multiprofessional department comprising two Professors, four lecturers (two senior lecturers) and around 30 research, education and support staff and consultants. Staff are based across the three main hospitals to which our Medical School is partnered - Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust, and King's College Hospital. We also have collaborations with many palliative care teams, hospices and related services in the UK and overseas, and with colleagues throughout King's.  In 2008 the department was designated a WHO Collaborating Centre for Palliative Care and Older People. 
 
The department has now moved into the newly completed Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care.   More information
