This article (by Greenhalgh et al., 2017) presents an organisational study on the Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs) model of partnerships (using various approaches). BRCs are partnerships between healthcare organisations and universities in England. ‘Partnerships for Health, Wealth and Innovation’ has been established with multiple sub-themes (drug development, device development, business support and commercialisation, research methodology and statistics, health economics, bioethics, patient and public involvement and engagement, knowledge translation, and education and training) to support individual BRC research themes and generate cross-theme learning. The ‘Partnerships’ theme will support the BRC’s goals by facilitating six types of partnerships through a range of engagement platforms and activities.
