The R&D office provides support to researchers in both the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. It is committed to ensuring that all research being undertaken is of high scientific quality and of a high ethical standard.
The Joint Research and Development Office of the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust provides guidance and support to researchers wishing to undertake projects within the Trust. The R&D team ensures that all research taking place in South London and Maudsley meets all necessary ethical, contractual and regulatory standards before it can begin.
Please visit our internal SharePoint site to access information and guidance around the planning, set-up and delivery of studies.
Joint R&D Office SharePoint
Please note that if you are a South London and Maudsley employee and do not have a King's email account, you can request access to the Share Point pages via this form: https://forms.office.com/e/MMKewiAAVD
This SharePoint will be replacing the current guidance on these pages. All the necessary information has been replicated on the internal SharePoint site, and so these external pages will be archived at the end of October 2025. If you have any concerns or feedback about this, please get in touch on the email above.
Joint R&D Office: Wednesday Walk-Ins
Dates: First Wednesday of the month, 10am-3pm | 1 October, 5 November, 3 December 2025 | Location: Room W1.12, IoPPN Main Building | Just drop-in or email slam-ioppn.research@kcl.ac.uk
Drop in on and discuss your questions with the Joint R&D Office on the first Wednesday of every month.
Whether you’re about to start a study, have specific questions about your current project or just want to learn more about the Joint R&D Office, we are here to help. We recognise that some research processes can be complicated, and it might be easier to chat them through in person. All are welcome to drop-in and speak to a member of the team; there is no need to book. However if there is someone you’d specifically like to see, or you’d like support from one of our partners (Research Delivery Team in SLaM, KHP Clinical Trials Office or NIHR King’s CRF), then please email us in advance with the subject line ‘Wednesday walk-in’ to slam-ioppn.research@kcl.ac.uk
