Improving partnership working between health and social care
agencies has long been a feature of government policy but has
recently gained increased impetus as a result of New Labour's
commitment to joined-up government. This book provides a detailed
but accessible introduction to policy and practice at the interface
between health and social care. Drawing on key research, government
policies and real-life case studies, the book assists health and
social care professionals to work more effectively together in
order to improve services for users and carers. The health and
social care divide: explains why partnerships are important and
what helps or hinders partnership working; reviews the legal and
policy framework, providing a chronological overview and placing
current initiatives in their historical and social policy context;
summarises existing research findings with regard to key health and
social care policy debates; uses case studies to explore the
implications of this research for health and social care
practitioners; provides good practice guidance for both students
and frontline practitioners. The book is designed as an
introductory text for those working or training to work in a
multi-agency environment. In particular, it will be of interest to
social work, nursing, therapy and medical students, frontline
practitioners and those undertaking post-qualification training
courses.
