Abstract

Community Health Partnerships in Scotland have been given a renewed centrality in Health policy during 2014. They have, however, experienced mixed success in their 10 years to date. Drawing on interviews with senior managers in a large Community Health Partnership, this paper highlights the challenges of leading and managing change and integration across organizational boundaries, seeks to learn from the failures that occurred, and considers the implications for policy implementation in the future.
