Not being afraid to make mistakes, or to say something really crazy. And getting to know each other, as people. Embracing the human relationship part of all this discussion."

"Barriers fall when the vision is clear and shared; when focus is on the patient and the patient experience rather than on the institutions serving them, and when there is a commitment to a culture of respect, trust and transparency."
Very inspiring reflection on building cooperation in partnership for cardiovascular care. I 'd suggest to pick the challenge up by using mehtods of developing co-creation, because these start with investigating why the parties would be interested in going all the way for the long time!
