Reviews for Being Interprofessional
"Offers some excellent practical guidance to assist those training to become public sector professionals to meet the need for successful collaborative practice." Community Care "The authors do a very good job of presenting a complex and dynamic aspect of contemporary professional work in very practical terms and in an easy to read format." ... Read more Work, Employment and Society "Marilyn Hammick and her colleagues take this book beyond the usual well-meaning exhortations and uncover what it means to learn and practise in a collaborative context. The engaging style conveys complex messages in a direct way that will be helpful for undergraduate students and practitioners." Fiona Ross, Kingston University and St George's, University of London "Throughout the UK, universities are weaving interprofessional education into undergraduate professional programmes to enable students to respond positively, purposefully and intelligently to demands for closer collaboration. Much has been written to help faculty re-orientate their teaching, less to help students to re-orientate their learning, none as rigorously as does this book to help them to become interprofessional and to understand their obligations to each other, to the public and to society." Hugh Barr, President of the Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education and Joint Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Interprofessional Care "Being Interprofessional has been written by the leading experts in interprofessional education and will be essential reading not only for students engaged in interprofessional learning but also to their tutors and those involved in programme development."
