The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has rated two services at King’s College Hospital as ‘Requires Improvement’ following an inspection in June this year.

Urgent and emergency care at the hospital, as well as services for children and young people, were both rated ‘Requires Improvement’. The ratings for both services are unchanged since they were last inspected.

King’s College Hospital’s rating also remains as ‘Requires Improvement’ overall.

Matthew Trainer, Chief Executive, said:

“It is positive that the CQC found some improvements had been made since these two services were last inspected. Patients continue to recognise the kindness and professionalism of our staff.

“However, it is clear that improvements in urgent and emergency care are needed, and the same is true of services for children and young people. Demand for both

services is high, but we need to make sure we get the basics right despite the pressures.”

💬"The scar I bear is a reminder of what I did to save my son's life."

Summiya Begum was able to become a living organ donor, giving her son the gift of life.

Two-year-old Yasin was born with biliary atresia (BA); a rare disease of the bile ducts affecting newborn babies, which can cause serious liver damage.

In 2025, specialists at King’s told Yasin’s parents he urgently needed a liver transplant; his mother Summiya made the brave decision to see if she could be a living donor.

🧠 Following last week’s announcement that King’s has once again been recognised as a Parkinson’s Foundation Centre of Excellence, we are sharing a patient perspective from our clinic today.

Catherine has been receiving treatment at King’s since 2016.

”I was just 46 years old when I found out I had young-onset Parkinson’s disease. Although my diagnosis was a shock, I began to feel more reassured when I discovered the range of support available from King’s, including its renowned Movement Disorder Clinic. I feel extremely lucky to be a patient here.

“Right from the start, I wanted to find ways for my diagnosis to somehow be useful and spoke to the research team. As a result, I’ve taken part in projects involving MRI scans, questionnaires, sensory tests and targeted exercise such as ballet and Tai Chi. It makes me feel that something positive could come out of my situation, and together with the team at King’s, I can help Parkinson’s patients in years to come.”

💙 Thank you, Catherine, for sharing your story.

Routine mammograms (breast x-rays) can identify cancer early, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment. It could make all the difference.

Please encourage your friends and family members to attend their appointments when invited.

📱 Aged 50-71 and registered as a woman with a GP? You will be automatically invited for breast screening every three years.

📞 Aged 71 or over? You will not receive automatic invitations but you can still self-refer for screening every three years by calling 0203 758 2024.

👩‍⚕️ Under 50? If you notice any unusual changes to your breasts, chest, or pecs, book an appointment with your GP immediately.

✅ Early detection saves lives.

👏We've once again been recognised as a Foundation Centre of Excellence by the Parkinson's Foundation!

As one of only two centres in the UK to hold this official classification, this year our Specialist Parkinson’s teams received international recognition for their patient-focused, integrated care.

The review recognised innovation and excellence at King’s, including:

🔹The Parkinson’s Neuropsychiatry Referral Service; the first of its kind within the NHS, which the Foundation identified as a model for other centres.

🔹Our strong academic-clinical partnership with King's College London, where research is integrated into clinical practice, providing patients with opportunities to participate in research alongside receiving specialist care.

🔹Our community education and outreach initiatives. Around 40% of people with Parkinson’s disease who use the service represent diverse and minority ethnic communities.

🔹Opportunities for patients to engage and support regional and national initiatives to improve Parkinson’s disease care.
