Working in teams sounds simple but the reality is often more difficult
within complex health and social care systems. This revised edition of
this essential book brings together cutting-edge thinking about
teamworking, and considers how this can be turned into practice within
the context of interagency settings. It introduces a range of theories,
models and research to demonstrate the benefits - and pitfalls -
inherent in teamworking in collaborative settings. This is a practical
and accessible guide focused on how inter-agency teams may be made to
function more effectively, illustrated through real-life examples. Its
no-nonsense approach will appeal to students, practitioners, team
leaders, managers and policy-makers across the health and social care
system.
