Working with businesses
We are inviting businesses engaged in the UK health economy to support our work through our corporate partnership and corporate supporter programmes. These programmes offer insight from our independent research and analysis, and can be tailored to your organisation's specific needs and interests.
Corporate partner programme
This is our flagship corporate sector programme, open to a limited number of thought-leading organisations in health.
These partnerships aim to build on synergies between the Fund’s areas of interest and our partner organisations’ expertise. We engage with partner organisations on key policy, health care improvement, and leadership development issues, for example through joint seminars, discussion events and bespoke briefings.
We seek to maximise the impact of partnerships through sharing knowledge in a range of formats with a wide audience within the organisation, as well as engaging in a targeted way with senior stakeholders.
Corporate partners also receive the full range of benefits from our corporate supporter programme (see below), including access to conferences, invitation-only seminars, networking opportunities, and regular tailored email briefings from the Fund.
Our current corporate partners are:

Further information
We aim to develop long-term relationships with our corporate partners and supporters, and we will consider tailoring partner programmes if requested. In recognition of the diverse nature of the health economy, we seek to facilitate interaction between the corporate sector (including our partners), the Department of Health, the NHS and academic researchers to achieve change within the health system.
The independence of The King's Fund is important to us. All partnerships are governed by our ethical collaboration policy. Income from the Corporate Partner and Supporter programmes represents less than 3 per cent of the Fund's annual income. We are committed to ensuring that any partnership is open and that there are no conflicts of interest that cannot be safely managed.
For more information about these programmes, or other ways of working with The King's Fund, contact Andrew Bickerdike, corporate partnerships manager on a.bickerdike@kingsfund.org.uk or 020 7307 2485.
Sponsorship, exhibition and other partnerships
We also offer a range of other sponsorship and exhibition opportunities based around our conferences and some specific projects. Find out how we work in partnership with a range of organisations.
