About the Better Health & Care Hub

The Better Health & Care Hub is a world-leading, interdisciplinary hub for research and education at King's College London, dedicated to transforming health and care on a global scale. It focuses on improving care and equity through three core themes:

1. Careforce: Expanding the definition of the care workforce to include people providing self-care, informal and unpaid carers and volunteers. This theme explores the roles these groups play in care delivery, the skills and support they need and how we might bridge professional and voluntary boundaries to create more integrated, skills-based approaches.

1. Frugal innovation: Supporting research into affordable, practical and scalable solutions that improve care without adding cost to the stretched systems.

1. Communities: Placing lived experience at the centre by partnering with communities in the design and delivery of care. This includes co-producing solutions, reducing inequities and measuring what really matters to people: quality of life and wellbeing.

Led by the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care, in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, and bolstered by strategic partnerships with NHS, social care, community, patient-led, charitable and international organisations, our hub harnesses interdisciplinary expertise.

Together, we aim to accelerate high-quality growth in research, education and impact, all focused on improving the quality, equality and value of health and care worldwide.
