Collaboration in Health and Welfare: Working with Difference

Передня обкладинка
Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 1997 - 117 стор.

Specialist knowledge in all caring professions is advancing rapidly but, the author argues, this cannot benefit generic patient care without collaboration between agencies and professionals working in medicine, nursing, social work, occupational therapy and physiotherapy, amongst others.

This study demystifies the concept of collaboration so that it can be widely understood. The author suggests a framework to enable collaboration to take place, and details the skills which can be used to facilitate the process. She concludes that interprofessional and interagency collaboration can be creative and exciting despite the problems involved, and should be a taught and resourced part of each professions's repertoire of skills, organisation and culture.

Про автора (1997)

Ann Loxley trained as a medical social worker but spent most of her working life as a social work teacher at Middlesex Polytechnic. Applied knowledge and reflective practice were the basis of her teaching. She played an innovative role in setting up multi-professional short courses, which led to the founding of the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education. She was also a Health Authority Member for nine years, and brokered the co-operation between the then Polytechnic and five schools of nursing, which led to the development of qualifying courses for nurses at Middlesex University. Her interest in collaboration stems not only from her professional experience but also from bringing up four children.
