E-Book Overview
The move to multidisciplinary teams in primary care and the emphasis on joined-up working across the human services make it increasingly necessary for health and social care professionals to take on a variety of leadership roles in teams made up of people from different professional backgrounds. This sort of leadership requires different skills from those required when working in the context of a single profession familiar to every member of the team.In Leading Interprofessional Teams in Health and Social Care, the authors use detailed case-studies to explore these skills. Nurses, social workers and other health and social care professionals, specialists and managers are included in the case-studies to demonstrate how leadership and teamworking roles can be taken in different ways and in different circumstances. The final section of the book presents an analysis of the case-studies to draw out the key issues and discusses how readers might develop themselves to be successful leaders and team members in these diverse settings.
E-Book Content
LEADING INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAMS IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE This book presents compelling narrative case studies of a variety of interprofessional teams and explores how teams work in three key and interrelated areas: creating and implementing change, team working and leadership. Each case study is followed by an analysis in which creative approaches to interprofessional working and examples of best practice are identified. This book shows that there are many different new forms of leadership and demonstrates tensions between traditional models and emerging models. It also looks at how theory and policy are translated into practice and how service change may benefit service users. The wide range of examples of practice in complex settings make this book essential reading for all students in health, nursing and social care, at undergraduate, postgraduate and professional levels.
