Providing an introduction to inter-professional education in health and social care, this title summarizes trends in policy, establishes what we can learn from research and practice and sets out useful frameworks and approaches to address a range of problems that partnerships face.
Interprofessional education (IPE) has been perceived as a solution to a number of the practical difficulties associated with collaborative working. It is regarded as particularly critical in complex areas such as safeguarding children, community mental health services, older people's services and services for disabled children. In all of these cases the quality of care needs to be delivered by seamless multiprofessional teams. This essential textbook provides a thorough introduction to IPE in health and social care and examines the research evidence in detail, providing much-needed practical advice. This second edition includes updates to research and policy contexts and provides readers with an essential set of IPE 'do's and don'ts'.
