The UK government's reforms of the NHS and public health system
require partnerships if they are to succeed. Those partnerships
concerned with public health are especially important and are
deemed to be a 'good thing' which add, rather than consume, value.
Yet the significant emphasis on partnership working to secure
effective policy and service delivery exists despite the evidence
testifying to how difficult it is to make partnerships work or
achieve results. Partnership working in public health presents the
findings from a detailed study of public health partnerships in
England. The lessons from the research are used to explore the
government's changes in public health now being implemented, most
of which centre on new partnerships called Health and Wellbeing
Boards that have been established to work differently from their
predecessors.The book assesses their likely impact and the
implications for the future of public health partnerships. Drawing
on systems thinking, it argues that partnerships can only succeed
if they work in quite different ways. The book will therefore
appeal to the public health community and students of health
policy.
