Briefing / Partnership working in the NHS
An overview of why and how partnerships are formed in the NHS.
Partnership is a form of integration with a spectrum ranging from cooperation on occasional projects to
the forming of a legal company. Although not every option is open to every type of NHS organisation, a partnership of some type will be possible if a suitable opportunity arises.
When looking to establish a partnership, it is important to identify what the partnership is aiming to achieve, who to partner with and what form the partnership should take in order to ensure the arrangement is an effective, efficient way to achieve the shared goal.
Although not exhaustive in its coverage, the briefing will provide an overview of why and how partnerships are formed in the NHS and look at some practical considerations to be taken into account when they are developed.
