The benefits of working in social partnership are many and wide reaching. This area of our site aims to outline the benefits, particularly significant for the NHS and supporting evidence (case studies) of where these have been demonstrated.
NHS organisations and their staff need all the help they can get to meet the whirlwind of change. In the experience of many hospitals, trusts and staff representatives, one key tool is developing positive and productive relationships with staff organisations - social partnership.
Chief executives, managers and staff representatives who have adopted and implemented partnership approaches believe the business case for partnership is unanswerable. With partnership, all parts of an organisation can come together to meet challenges, and pull together to meet agreed goals.
