Robert McCartney is a solicitor and founding director at McCartney Healthcare Associates. In this episode, Tara talks to Robert about the advent of primary care networks and his approach to helping general practices to work collaboratively under the new structures. Robert also talks about the importance of drawing up a network legal or partnership agreement to focus on the principles, rather than being a watertight legal document. Robert has headed up legal and IT departments and has been involved in business development and human resources. He is also very strong on the people side of things – he talks about the importance of emotional intelligence, soft skills and understanding the context his clients are working in.
