Interprofessional and Intraprofessional Teamwork and Handovers in Healthcare - Challenges and Recommendations from Work-based Learning

Interprofessional practice is a well-known topic for all public and private health professionals, but there has been limited research on social network analysis in determining the actual configuration of professional networks and their impact on teamwork and patient care. Furthermore, previous interprofessional theories appear limited to specific sectors and are not generalisable.

The book's authors propose novel insiders' views about collaborative practice as 'experts' of the sector, with plenty of applications that can attract healthcare professionals and policymakers aiming to improve integrated care based on Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence.

About the author

The three authors are academic teachers and clinical practitioners who conduct research in higher and healthcare education, work-based learning and professional development. They are involved in providing professionals from any sector and students with practical skills to succeed in higher university degrees, work-based learning, reflective practice, interprofessional teamwork and professional doctorates. They wrote extensively on these topics. Their last manuscript Interprofessional and Interprofessional Teamwork and Handovers in Healthcare has been successfully adopted in guiding cooperative teamwork in healthcare settings and teaching collaborative clinical skills to healthcare practitioners.
