The Trust is dedicated to managing and developing a range of mental health services, working closely with service users and carers, our four partner local authorities, CCGs and NHS hospitals. Services are primarily focused on people with severe and enduring mental illness. However, it also promotes good mental health, early intervention to prevent more serious problems and provide support to primary care in dealing with people with less severe problems.
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is a large and diverse organisation providing core mental health services to the Boroughs of Southwark, Lewisham, Lambeth and Croydon and specialist services both regionally and nationally. The Trust is also involved in a number of international mental health projects.
The Trust has 4,800 staff. We treat 64,000 patients a year in the community across 74 community sites and provide inpatient care to 3700 people a year, in 786 beds across 8 inpatient sites. The trust has an annual turnover of £381 million. It has close links in education and research with the Institute of Psychiatry and Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine, both of which are part of King's College London. This close collaboration involves working to ensure that developments and research feed directly into clinical practice. Its academic links with King's College London, which also include the Nightingale Institute and South Bank University, enables us to ensure that our health care staff receive high quality clinical training at both pre-qualification (or registration) stage and in specialist skills (post qualification).
