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 teamwork 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.
