This document discusses reflections on networking and collaboration within healthcare science networks. It summarizes engagement with 36 healthcare science leaders through discovery interviews to understand strengths, problems, and interests in collaboration. It identifies areas of collaboration between trusts including radiotherapy physics. Models for network leadership and specialty collaboration are presented. Standards for collaborative business relationships and leadership tools are referenced to support network development.
