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.\n\nPartnership 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 governments changes in public health now being implemented, most of which centre on new partnerships called Health and Wellbeing Boar.
