Research partnership between 'thinkers' and 'doers' are now thought likely to deliver more useful and useable knowledge for health and social care. Uses, 'Buying Time', a three-year comparative study of residential rehabilitation for older people coming out of hospital as a case study to examine the wider issues of partnership research. Reflects on the theoretical and practical implications of partnership research, outlines some of the messages from the literature, and reviews the experience of the research. Concludes that it is difficult in practice to balance the demands of operational relevance and academic rigour, and that better resourcing may be required.
