McCray (health and social care management, University of Chichester, UK) assembles UK contributors in health care and social work to offer nursing students an introduction to multi-professional practice, defined here as nursing practice in a range of traditional and more innovative practice settings in the state sector, the private sector, and the 'third sector,' which provides services such as foster care, hospice, care and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Part I of the book focuses on multi-professional practice in predominantly National Health Service settings. Part II explores broader partnerships. Each chapter begins with an account of the societal, technological, and economic aspects underpinning the development of services in a different setting, then describes the role of professionals who practice in that setting, and the skills and knowledge necessary for working with other professionals in that area. Learning features include guided study activities, case studies, and web links.
