Collaboration

We have a network of project partners working in the health and wellbeing, social care and research sectors across the south of England. They include local NHS organisations, local government, SMEs, universities and the charitable and third sectors.

Through these long-standing links we have an extensive list of contacts from Board level to the front-line workforce, enabling us to develop both strategic and operational partnerships.
