TEAMWORK IN MULTIPROFESSIONAL CARE


Malcolm Payne, St. Christopher's Hospice, London, United Kingdom

In this important text, Malcolm Payne shows how team members in care services can use networking and team- building to strengthen their practice by working with wider networks of agencies, professionals, and service users. He brings traditional team development up to date, including perspectives from research, management ideas, and professional writings. Each chapter contains a concise account of new ideas in teamwork, practical guidance on teambuilding, and teambuilding activities. Team development activities are discussed in the appendix.
