Improving people's care by working better together

Report - 6 November 2023

Find out how the NHS can work better across teams to help people who are receiving care.

Our evidence tells us that people expect and want collaborative working when it comes to their care, not just between the NHS and external partners, but between people, departments and services within the NHS too.

To understand the impact partnership work has had on patients and what 'better' could look like, we have analysed our evidence for insights into how the NHS is currently working to meet people's needs and how people's care experiences can be improved.

This briefing analyses people's experiences to support the development of a long-term vision for the NHS to work better through collaboration and partnership to improve health and care for all.
