Description
There will always be a need for professionals to work collaboratively if they are to provide the highest standard of care. Interprofessional working encourages practitioners to understand the roles of other professionals and to learn from each other, as well as from service users and carers, to ensure the full benefit of this collaboration is realised. It is an essential element of both education and practice for today's professionals.
Interprofessional Working in Health and Social Care discusses the rationale,
skills and conditions required for interprofessional working. In addition, it
provides an overview of the roles and perspectives of different health professionals
across a broad range
of expertise: education, housing, medicine, midwifery, nursing, occupational
therapy, physiotherapy, police, probation, radiography, social work and youth
work.
The second edition:
- Offers a broad variety of case studies from a range of fi elds and settings.
- Includes a new chapter dedicated to interprofessional working with service users and carers.
- Looks forward, offering brand new content on new and emerging roles such as specialist paramedics and approved mental health practitioners.
This book is a valuable tool for students and practitioners across the health and social care discipline, employing engaging case studies and reflective activities to support learning about interprofessional and interagency collaboration.
