- A guide to building collaborative relationships among health and care professionals, patients, service users, carers and communities.
- The guide suggests five approaches to developing an effective relationship:
- find your collaborative partner: this, together with identifying funding and a real task to work on, marks the first important stage of beginning a collaborative relationship
- invest in developing leadership and collaborative relationships
- make time for learning: set aside time for reflection, record learning and share that learning with peers and those you hope to influence
- go where the energy is: sometimes this means working under the radar for a while until you are ready to share your results, your approach and your learning
- embed collaborative activity at all levels in your system or organisation.
