King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust


King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK's largest and busiest teaching hospitals with over 1.5 million patient contacts a year and more than 13,000 staff based across five main sites in South East London and Kent.


The Trust provides a full range of local hospital services across its different sites, and specialist services from King's College Hospital (KCH) site in Camberwell and the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) site in Bromley, Orpington Hospital, and some services at Beckenham Beacon and Queen Mary's Sidcup.

The Trust is recognised internationally for its work in liver disease and transplantation, neurosciences, cardiac, haemato-oncology, foetal medicine, stroke, major trauma, and Emergency Department.

The diabetes department is internationally renowned and provides extensive services to our local population and nationally.

Areas of particular interest include:

Type 1 diabetes:

We have a large tertiary type 1 diabetes clinic including one of the largest pump services in the UK and specialist management of problematic hypoglycaemia.

We were pioneers in the DAFNE education programme and have an established islet transplant programme, having performed the UK's first islet transplant in 2002.

Diabetic Foot Medicine.

Professor Edmonds initiated the UK's first dedicated multidisciplinary clinic in 1986 and this had grown into a service of global repute, with a long history of innovative practice.

The current foot clinic allows comprehensive multidisciplinary management of diabetic foot problems with integrated vascular and orthopaedic support and an active research programme.

Outcomes from this service in respect of healing and amputation prevention are the best in the UK.

Diabetes and Mental Health.

We have established the first UK chair in diabetes and psychiatry held by Professor Khalida Ismail who provides local and tertiary level specialist services for the management of psychiatric aspects of diabetes.

Together with Dr Carol Gayle she developed the award winning 3DFD model of community based psychosocial care for diabetes. She is currently piloting for NHS England a Type 1 Diabetes and Eating Disorders Service (T1DE).

Additional tertiary diabetes include pregnancy, peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, cystic fibrosis related diabetes, liver/renal, and post transplantation diabetes.

Diabetes improvement project:

The fellow will be responsible for the delivery of a discreet improvement project.

This project has been defined as a priority by the diabetes team, however with no allocated time to deliver this we have not yet managed to implement the change.

We are therefore looking for someone with the ability to organise the team, develop appropriate systems/pathways and implement the change.

This will be supported with training and mentoring from the King's quality improvement team alongside the diabetes department.

This will include:

  • A named quality improvement coach to support you with methodology, approaches, problem solving and improvement tools and techniques
  • Quality Improvement qualifications to Lean White and Yellow Belt standard
  • Opportunity to qualify to Lean Green Belt standard and Viva your project to a King's executive director
  • Opportunity to qualify to QSIR (Quality, Service Improvement and Redesign) Practitioner level
  • Networking with other Quality Improvement leads across the Trust
  • Support with s
