Welcome to your Alumni Blog

What do you want to share with the alumni community? Do you have a unique insight into current healthcare provision? Or want to make a change to higher education policy? Are you passionate about knitting as a form of creative protest? We want to hear your ideas for posts that will engage our diverse alumni community.

The intention is for each post to offer an opinion on an interesting topic. If you’ve gone into an unusual field since leaving King’s or you have a unique perspective on a current issue, our blog might be your opportunity to share your insight with the world.

Get involved

If you have something to contribute, we'd love to hear from you! Drop us an email with ‘alumni blog’ in the subject line.
