Facilitating partnership working in public health: evaluation of a clinical service development approach
Primary Health Care Research & Development, 06/30/09

Jackson C et al. - Six themes emerged from the focus group data that illustrated key issues for the implementation of the CHT: ‘agreeing the focus,’ ‘strong leadership,’ ‘the challenge of communication,’ ‘managing workloads and new ways of working,’ ‘success of the CHT’ and ‘outside influences.’ Communication and heavy workloads were identified as key barriers to the success of the CHT in the questionnaire data. These data highlight the complex and evolving nature of public health partnership working and identify important issues that might usefully be considered in future initiatives of this kind.
