Books in the CAIPE Collaborative Practice Series series

Using examples, definitions and real-life situations, this book encourages individuals to consider the opportunities and impacts of working in public health as well as the gains that can be made by working collaboratively. It discusses why moving out of silos is an important factor in promoting collaborative working, not as shared occasional endeavour, but as the underpinning experience for practice. It also explores the sociological issues that underpin the practice of public health and offers insights into the complexities of how different groups might work together.

The effective delivery of primary care requires the good working of a multi-professional team. Taking a workbook approach, this book offers the reader viable models to enhance collaborative working and manage the challenges it can bring.
