As modern healthcare evolves, it is essential for nurses to understand and work with a diverse range of people to provide quality care. But it is often difficult to grasp the many roles of those in healthcare services. This book provides a clear, practical and up-to-date guide to the various people that nurses work with, including the essential role of service users themselves, and how to work with them to improve care.
This new edition includes increased coverage of teamwork and improving mental health. It is updated throughout including discussion of LiNKS, the Care Quality Commission and Every Child Matters.
"This book is an excellent resource for students trying to understand how health care is delivered in Britain today"- Lecturer, Edge Hill University
This suplements the IPE strand of the curriculum at our institution. -- Caroline Gibson * drupal *
Broken down into sections with activities and summaries. -- Jo Gregory * drupal *
The aspects of the book I like are the links to essential skill clusters, the historical perspective and the activities with the inclusion of brief outline answers
I cannot really identify any dislikes. Initially considered chapter 6 and if this chapter moved away from the collaboration and partnership aspects but it represents an insightful consideration into how we perceive others and how this may influence our interactions. Therefore very pertinent to developing collaborative skills. A very useful book which would support assignment development. -- Julie Chapman * drupal *
Interesting, well written and informative. Wide range of references used. -- Miss Ann Jones * drupal *
This is an excellent book but requires a knowledge of the workings of the NHS in general. This is an excellent book for newly qulaifeid and for post qualifying studies. -- Miss Catherine Savin * drupal *
There have been a number of texts written around the subject of interprofessional collaborative and practice, none of which have link to the core areas of importance within the NMC standards and essential skills clusters. -- Mr Alan Mount * drupal *
a good book which will aid the development and understanding of students throughout the course in reference to the importance of working together and team work within the health care setting: whether primary, intermediate or secondary within this degree pathway. -- Mr Keith Booles * drupal *
Plenty of scenarios and case studies to help students put what they′ve read into context. Good concept summaries and research summaries to clarify students′ understanding. The inclusion of useful websites at the end of each chapter is a great idea. -- Mr Scott Macpherson * drupal *
I really have found this book an excellent resource, the decision making process develops through the book emphasising how to manage the more difficult decisions and the influence of experience. Excellent application of the ESC -- Mrs Gill McEwing * drupal *
A essential aid to practice in the current climate. -- Mrs Janet Gargiulo * drupal *
With our new collaborative curriculum this book is essential. It highlights the need for collaborative working and clearly links this with the NMC requirements -- Mrs Sue Cresswell * drupal *
Clarity of legislative framework and professional code. Excellent links to nmc domain -- Mrs Veronica Vernon * drupal *
I have found this excellent book a useful resource for nursing students throughout the curriculum; from introducing the concept of multiagency working in the first year to teaching about the challenges of providing collaborative care. -- Ms Alison Owen Traynor * drupal *
Good introductory book that enhances the discussion on interprofessional practice. -- Ms Chioma Onyedinma-Ndubueze * drupal *
I like the title, the link to NMC standards and chapter 6. The thing I slightly dislike is the cover - they are all so similar - I appreciate that they are cooperate but I forget which ones I have picked up. -- Ms Debi Corby * drupal *
A very good book on the subject of interprofessional working. -- Nigel Downes * drupal *
Students at the end of their course have to submit a number of pieces of work based on collaborative practice. This book is useful in giving them a starting point on the subject and provides useful information relevant to their course. -- Robert Kinloch * drupal *
