Leading Successful Partnerships

When faced with complex or long-term goals, organisations increasingly recognise that they cannot reach them alone, and need other organisations to share responsibility and ownership to get there. Many of us are looking to partnership working as the solution.  We know that now, more than ever, we need to work collaboratively to deliver consistently high-quality health and care services.

Our ​‘Leading Successful Partnerships’ guide provides advice and insight to help health and care organisations to set up the foundations for effective partnerships. The guide draws on research and practical experience from Q and Innovation Unit and highlights the need for creating a shared vision, values, goals, roles and responsibilities. 

Join us for this session which will inspire you, unlock new thinking, and support you with your work locally to collaborate across sector boundaries.

At this workshop, we will:

• Introduce you to the ​‘Leading Successful Partnerships’ guide
• Share how it can support you in your improvement work
• Have time to reflect on its principles individually and as a group 

The guide and this session will be useful for leaders and teams looking to set up effective partnerships to solve health and care challenges, and support embedding a culture of innovation and improvement. 

We will provide captions for this event as well as a silent reflection room for those who do not want to do group work.

If you need any other adjustments to help you to participate please let us know using the form when you register or email Annika Patni.
