Healthcare professionals often complain that they never read or hear of many success stories. It would seem sometimes that the media’s only emphasis is on the NHS being in a state of disarray, what with the ongoing battle over the junior doctors’ contract and nurses’ bursaries, recruitment problems, ever diminishing resources … the list goes on.
While mental health nurses bemoan not being able to provide compassionate care, GPs complain of burnout and staff at all levels lament the lack of integration in all aspects of their work, many more people are engaged in trying to address, fix or circumvent the mammoth problems facing the healthcare sector.
We want to highlight the partnerships that have an impact on the lives of healthcare professionals and patients. Whether it’s a charity working in collaboration with one part of the NHS (locally or nationally), an app or technological innovation, professionals partnering with patients, or simply a great example of collaboration, we want to hear about it.
Please share your suggestions of stories, projects, innovations and people you’d like to see included in a new series on partnerships in the form below.
