Abstract
Traditionally there was little active involvement from patients and carers in healthcare but health policy and professional guidelines now promote not only involvement but partnership working with service users in all aspects of healthcare provision, research and education. This article will first explore expectations of nurses and definitions and theories of partnership working and related concepts and theories, prior to considering examples of partnership working in nursing practice.
This is not the version of record.
