Interprofessional practice in health and social care - Carolyn Miller

Over the past decade there have been increasing calls from successive governments for health and social care professionals to work more closely together. The purpose of the multi-professional approach to health care is to provide a seemless service for patients by working as an inter-professional team.

The authors explore the issues and problems faced by health and social care professionals when working in shared learning initiatives, and offer models to help them develop a multi-professional service. They present a template based on clinical case study material and highlight the key themes important in developing a successful teaching curriculum for shared learning.

Based upon the findings from a report commissioned by the English National Board who have declared learning must be incorporated into future health care education, 'Multi-Professional Clinical Teamwork & Shared Learning in Health & Social Care' evaluates the latest approach and information.
