title: Evaluating a framework for the development of joint appointments.
abstract: This article evaluates an evidenced-based framework for the development of joint appointment posts by reflecting on the lived experience. It uses an action science philosophy that acknowledges the development of actionable knowledge from the integration of theory and practice. At the same time the lived experience of setting up a joint appointment post is evaluated using the same evidenced-based framework. The actionable knowledge generated confirms the importance of articulating vision at strategic levels and of empowering people who are solution-focused at operational levels.
