About South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) provides the widest range of NHS mental health services in the UK as well as substance misuse services for people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. We work closely with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London and are part of King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre. Our scope is unique because it is built on three major foundations: care and treatment, science and research, and training.

Organisation context

SLaM employs around 5000 staff and serves a local population of 1.1 million people. The Trust is a national pilot site for the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) prior to its launch nationwide in the summer of 2023. Our ambition is to be a national leader in anti-racism mental health services by 2026 and to have the evidence of race equity to prove it. As a Trust we want to ensure our communities experience this transformation—through better care, greater trust, and the dismantling of racial disparities that have persisted too long.
