Our vision, mission and values

Our vision

The King's Fund is an independent charity working to improve health and health care in England. We help to shape policy and practice through research and analysis; develop individuals, teams and organisations; promote understanding of the health and social care system; and bring people together to learn, share knowledge and debate. Our vision is that the best possible care is available to all.

Our mission

We contribute to achieving this vision in two ways by:

• working to improve the way health care, and related social care, in England is organised, funded and delivered
• supporting individuals, teams and organisations to improve health and health care.

Our values

• We are committed to improving care, and the experience of care, for patients, service users and their families
• We will act with integrity, and will value and protect our independence
• Our work will be relevant and challenging
• We will strive for excellence in everything we do – reflecting on what we have done and learning in order to improve
• We will work collaboratively within the Fund and with our partners.
