"I've changed my mind about collaborative working - and what I'm about to share will probably make some people uncomfortable."

After 10 years supporting over 300 primary care networks, I have experienced, observed, and served as a confidant to leaders struggling to collaborate.

In this session, I'll share the practical principles I've distilled from working with networks facing what has felt like impossible partnership dynamics. You'll learn what actually works when collaboration isn't working, and I will challenge you to consider your role in some of these relationships.

You'll discover:

• When forcing collaboration does more harm than good (and what to do instead)
• Why financial transparency matters more than trust for partnership success
• How to create strategic independence while maintaining formal structures
• Why criticism without contribution is sabotaging your network
