What We Do
The King’s Clinical and Academic Research Society was founded as the student-led wing of King’s Health Partners, the inter-body health sciences centre bringing together research from three major NHS Trusts (Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital, and South London and Maudsley) and King’s College London.
We are committed to promoting the learning and practice of high-quality medical research in the student body through teaching events and lecture series which we run throughout the year.
Our capstone event is our annual student research conference, which will take place this academic session in Spring ‘25.
“To promote the learning and practice of high-quality clinical and basic research in the medical student body.”
