Say hello, My name's Tom Nuts. I'm chief executive of Meningitis Now and I've just been on an excellent panel here at the King's Fund thinking about what constitutes an effective partnership. Now on our panel there was me talking from a charity background, but we also had people with experience of NHS and industry and other statutory partners and we were thinking about what? Constitutes an effective partnership and, and in many ways it was quite familiar stuff. It was a sense of common purpose. It was the importance of governance. But we also talked about the importance of trust. And of course, there was as our chair identified that the paradoxes is that how do you create trust when there is no trust in the 1st place. And, and in many ways it can be summed up in, in, in, in, in, in three words. When it comes to partnership working, just do it. There's a there's a high likelihood that by working together, you'll achieve something that's greater than the sum of your parts individually. So at the end of the day, partnership working, yes, it can be difficult, but in my experience, yeah, just do it.
