Abstract
Since its election in 1997, the UK Labour Government has called for collaboration on an unprecedented scale throughout the public sector. This paper focuses upon collaboration in and surrounding the National Health Service (NHS), with reference to implications for higher education. It urges universities to enter into the new spirit of partnership with one another and with the NHS. The paper is based upon my inaugural lecture delivered on 13 April 1999 as a Visiting Professor at the University of Greenwich, UK.
