Strengthening Partnerships Across the Health Sector

Health­care is com­plex and tack­ling its chal­lenges alone is futile! If we want to achieve bet­ter, sus­tain­able health­care out­comes for all South Aus­tralians, we need to embrace col­lab­o­ra­tive action and partnership. 

Mon­i­ca Novick, Direc­tor, Part­ner­ships Pro­gram, and Justin Chai, Project Man­ag­er, Part­ner­ships Pro­gram, from the CEIH had the priv­i­lege of deliv­er­ing a work­shop on ​‘Strength­en­ing Part­ner­ships Across the Health Sec­tor’ at the ​‘Peo­ple Lead­ers Devel­op­ment Series’ for man­agers from the SA Depart­ment for Health and Well­be­ing. Atten­dees par­tic­i­pat­ed in engag­ing dis­cus­sions on: 

• the impor­tance of part­ner­ships in achiev­ing out­comes in a com­plex system 
• the var­i­ous forms of part­ner­ships across a continuum 
• bar­ri­ers and enablers to qual­i­ty partnerships 
• method­ol­o­gy of apply­ing prin­ci­ples of part­ner­ship devel­op­ment process into practice 
• the impor­tance of part­ner­ship strat­e­gy and evaluation. 

The deliv­ery of this work­shop was a capa­bil­i­ty-build­ing ini­tia­tive aimed at equip­ping peo­ple with skills, knowl­edge and mind­sets to pro­mote qual­i­ty col­lab­o­ra­tive action and part­ner­ship in the health sector.
