Reviews of first edition: "[H]ighly readable...recommended reading for all those on interprofessional programmes in health and social care." - British Journal of Occupational Therapy "This is an easily accessible text which introduces the concept of interprofessional healthcare to novices. The sections on individual professions is useful background reading for students new to the healthcare arena." - Emma Pope, School of Healthcare Studies, Cardiff University, UK "This text provides a comprehensive account of many issues relating to collaborative working." - Dr Raffik Cadar, Senior Lecturer, Northumbria University, UK "A very useful resource. One which I have no doubt will become a favorite with students." - Gill Albon, Senior Lecturer, Department of Applied Social Studies, University of Bedfordshire, UK "This is a particularly useful text book for the multi-disciplinary module. It provides students with the historical background and drivers regarding multidisciplinary practice. I particularly like how the book examines the professional practice within health, education and social care as the module is delivered to a number of relevant pathways. The activities and case studies are helpful." - Danielle Douglas, Year 1 Leader, Department of Education and Professional studies, Bradford College, UK "Good core text for interprofessional practice" - Chris Simpson, Department of Youth and Community Studies, University of St Mark and St John, UK "The book provides helpful insights into the world of multi agency working across the professions." - Dave Mason, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Health, Staffordshire University, UK "Very useful when explaining the ins and outs of interprofessional working to first year BSc students." - Emma Inch, Lecturer, School of Applied Social Science, University of Brighton, UK "Very useful: engages in key themes and debates enabling students to link theory and practice" - Nick Koral, Department of Applied Social Science and Humanities, Bradford College, UK
