Arakawa, Naoko; Anderson, Claire

Abstract

There is increasing attention to international collaborations in health services research with a number of benefits. For developing and nurturing international collaboration, an increasing number of funding opportunities are available globally. Having observed and experienced the growth of international collaborations in the global health research field, the authors reflect upon their own experiences in international collaboration between the United Kingdom and many different countries in the process of health services and educational research and discuss challenges and opportunities to conduct impactful research in international settings. The commentary also highlights key issues and strategies for learning and achieving more impact from global health research: including, communication, co-creation, strong leadership and sustainability.
