This book offers nursing students an introduction to - and foundation in - multi-professional practice. It explores the reasons behind the changing face and redesign of many services in health and social care, and it looks at how this affects the readers own role in the emerging multi-professional partnerships and teams.
Features of the book include:
o it provides a framework for developing the knowledge and practice skills needed for effective collaborative working
o it contains examples drawn from acute medicine, primary care, mental-health services, learning disability nursing, child and family social care, and community nursing
o it is embedded in real-life practice and brings together examples from traditional and more innovative practice settings
o it offers tips for successful teamworking and reflects upon likely challenges
o the chapters are supported by a range of interactive study activities linked to the student nurse's practice placement experiences.

A good introduction to multi-professional working in health care. An excellent exploration of the issues of team working and the skills in managing the processes.

An excellent book for healthcare practitioners in helping them to understand the importance of multi-professional working and developing the necessary skills for effective practice.

An important issue as students have difficulty in grappling with the complexities involved. The guided studies and case studies were helpful and the chapter on the Third Sector essential reading in the current climate.
We will highly recommend this book to all our students in our MSc programm with ANP focus. It will be especially valuable if they go on to develope their buisness plans for role/service developments and/or design a service evaluation research project for their thesis work to consider the 'embedddness' of nursing within the wider healthcare system
