The book encourages students to sharpen their understanding of concepts and theories surrounding collaborative practice, with a clear emphasis on theory, policy and practice. Chapter-by-chapter, the book takes readers through the most important and relevant issues in contemporary health and social care, including working in teams, learning from others, policy issues, working with children and adults, and specialist practice.
Through student-friendly case studies and thoughtful learning exercises, it also considers ways of applying these ideas to the real world. It covers work across the statutory, voluntary and community sectors, drawing on the insights and experiences of a wide range of service users, carers and a variety of practitioners.
Being Interprofessional will be essential reading for students and practitioners in all branches of health and social care, such as nursing, social work, midwifery and youth work. Whatever their background, it will inspire readers to find new ways of working together to meet the needs of patients and clients.

"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."
Michael Pittilo, Robert Gordon University
