How it works
Start with a discussion, then a written scope. Formal projects use clear agreements defining responsibilities, resources, reporting, liabilities and intended outcomes.
Requirements and boundaries
Commercial sponsorship and paid services are distinguished from independent clinical advice and research collaboration. Directory listing of an NHS service is not a partnership unless a real partnership has been agreed.
