Most Partnership Health services are developed or delivered in conjunction with an existing provider with proven expertise in a specific area. While it matters that we make the most of the skills and experience that exists, it is just as important to build capacity right across the sectors with which we work, to ensure enduring results. This commitment to partnership gives access to talent and capabilities to meet the demands of each individual piece of work, and nurtures and grows niche providers, who may not otherwise be able to sustain specialist- but highly essential - services. Increasingly important in meeting the challenges to integrate health and social services is addressing the fragmentation that characterises systems, including the way the health sector relates to non-health organisations.
