Health published in association with the UK Centre for the
Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE). The series
explores partnership for health from policy, practice and

the pitfalls and ways to avoid them.

International Perspectives on Health and Social Care
adopts a thematic approach to health and social care
partnerships.

The book offers workable information on key topics such as
integrated service models, partnership working and finance,
self-management and the co-ordination of services, individual
budgets, managing integration and working across the health and
social care boundary. The importance of inter-professional practice
is emphasised throughout with a key chapter that explores the
knowledge, attitudes and skills required by practitioners from
different professional backgrounds in order to work together
collaboratively.

With chapters by leading international commentators, the book
explores key terms and approaches to partnership working, helping
readers to consider which way of working may be appropriate for
which types of outcomes.
