Nursing and Collaborative Practice
A guide to interprofessional learning and working

Second Edition


June 2010 | 208 pages | Learning Matters
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.

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.
