| ‘Sometimes, clinicians can become very entrenched in their own view and their own way, and that is the only way.’ | ‘Lack of clarity of goals and when your goals don’t align with our [own] goals. I don’t blame them, we’re not part of the same organisation, they’re jumping to a slightly different tune to us.’ |
| ‘Clinicians work under extreme constraints of time; and sometimes as managers, we do have the luxury of having a meeting, and mulling things over.’ | ‘Our time is just so pulled across in so many places. There is always going to be conflict when you have got essentially a part-time contributor and a full-time team member.’ |
| ‘[There is a] resistance to letting go of the ways that they have always worked.’ | ‘Organisational barriers, the context we’re working in, the actual structure, governance setup.’ |
