Partners

Collaboration and partnership

The Trustees are committed to working with other stakeholders in order to turn the knowledge into know-how which improves policy, practice and services and supports the process of innovation in healthcare. The Trust is always looking to work closely with potential sponsors to identify and develop workable projects and to engender ownership of the results. The Trustees aim to involve all stakeholders and sponsors in events to discuss emerging and final results from the projects funded by the Trust. Below are examples of some of the Trust's existing partner organisations. If you are interested in discussing working in partnership or collaboration with the Trust, please contact Sue Ambler, Trust Director (Email: practiceresearch@rpsgb.org, Tel: 020 7572 2278).
