title: Joint working. Dancing with wolves?
abstract: A formalised and closer strategic partnership between a health authority and the healthcare industry has brought benefits to both sides. Joint working with seven companies has been used to develop an osteoporosis framework for the district, resulting in distribution of a comprehensive resource pack. Lessons have been learned on the way, and the project is being evaluated.
