Presenting ideas drawn from a critical analysis of the concept of collaboration, the author argues that interprofessional and interagency collaboration should be explicitly purposeful, structurally supported, and specifically skilled. The need for a framework to evaluate projects, design curricula and develop reflective practice is examined; and the author also raises questions about popular emphases, such as the search for common core skills and the pursuit of a generic practitioner.
Public policy and the context of collaboration; why collaboration in health and welfare - its place in ideology, models of care and social theory; the dangers of collaboration; divisions and differences in health and social care; a conceptual framework for collaboration in practice and education; values in collaboration.
This provides a useful analysis for practitioners seeking a theoretical standpoint through which to understand the day-to-day dilemmas of interagency working. The reader is left with a balanced view between the difficulties involved in collaboration and the potential benefits in terms of addressing health and social care tasks of cure, prevention, health promotion and maintenance. This is encapsulated within a political and historical context to enable those with an interest in collaborative working to make the transition from issues at the interpersonal level to the wider macro one.
