New partnerships in healthcare: debate

Together with the ABPI , the Guardian healthcare network will be hosting a series of debates on new partnerships in healthcare at this year's party conferences. Discussion will focus on changing relationships in the health sector, and explore the need for increased collaboration between providers and with patients. How new partnerships can improve outcomes? And what are the benefits for joint working at a local and national level? Join us to debate these issues and share your thoughts.
