Taylor & Francis Ltd Leading Interprofessional Teams in Health and
Book SynopsisThe move to multidisciplinary teams in primary care and the emphasis on joined-up working across the human services make it increasingly necessary for health and social care professionals to take on a variety of leadership roles in teams made up of people from different professional backgrounds. This sort of leadership requires different skills from those required when working in the context of a single profession familiar to every member of the team.In Leading Interprofessional Teams in Health and Social Care, the authors use detailed case-studies to explore these skills. Nurses, social workers and other health and social care professionals, specialists and managers are included in the case-studies to demonstrate how leadership and teamworking roles can be taken in different ways and in different circumstances. The final section of the book presents an analysis of the case-studies to draw out the key issues and discusses how readers might develop themselves to be succTable of ContentsPart 1 Introduction 1 Leading interprofessional teams in health and social care Part 2 Case Studies 2 Virtual Multidisciplinary Team 3 Assertive Outreach Mental Health Team 4 Outpatients Referral Team 5 Cancer Collaborative Network 6 Reablement for Homecare Team Part 3 Theory and Practice 7 Theory and practice in experience of change 8 A framework for understanding leadership 9 Theory and practice in teamworking 10 Reflections and conclusions

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Impact of Inequality How to Make Sick
Book SynopsisIn this book, pioneering social epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson, shows how inequality affects social relations and well-being. In wealthy countries, health is not simply a matter of material circumstances and access to health care; it is also how your relationships and social standing make you feel about life.Using detailed evidence from rich market democracies, the book addresses people's experience of inequality and presents a radical theory of the psychosocial impact of class stratification. The book demonstrates how poor health, high rates of violence and low levels of social capital all reflect the stresses of inequality and explains the pervasive sense that, despite material success, our societies are sometimes social failures. What emerges is a new conception of what it means to say that we are social beings and of how the social structure penetrates our personal lives and relationships.Trade Review'Richard Wilkinson's pathbreaking work challenges everyone interested in socioeconomic conditions and health to rethink in a most constructive way. This new book - a wonderful work of synthesis - brings insight into how conditions of society impact on people's daily lives to cause health and disease. Emphasising the links between equality, cooperation, and personal control, he shows how conditions of society have profound biological effects. It is a stimulating and exciting book.' -Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health, Royal Free and University College Medical School, London 'Wilkinson's work is a powerful and provocative piece of scholarship. The Impact of Inequality presents a challenge to us all to improve population health by tackling economic and social inequalities.' - Lisa Berkman, Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy, Harvard School of Public Health 'In the affluent world, countless millions of people are obsessed with what they can do to be healthy. Richard Wilkinson is rightly obsessed with what nations, communities, and employers can do to create a healthy social environment. In this brave and well-reasoned book, he combs through the health evidence for clues to the kinds of economic structures and human relationships that are best for us in every sense.' - James Lardner, Senior Fellow at Demos, New York, and Director and founder of inequality.org 'This is a book that puts the numbers to a psychological truth: inequality is the real enemy.' - The Guardian 'Wilkinson's book is an important blow against Blair's claim that only poverty, not inequality, matters.' - Socialist Review 'Richard Wilkinson's latest book tells us what we already know, and that is why we need it.' - Prospect, Issue 114, 2005-09-25Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Employment Relations in the Voluntary Sector
Book SynopsisThis new book addresses the topical issues surrounding employment relations in UK voluntary organizations that operate within the quasi-market of social care. Combining an analysis of the established literature with in-depth qualitative field work, Ian Cunningham explores the nature of power relations between state and voluntary sector; implications of employment policy and subsequent pressures for change in pay and working conditions; the influence of trade unions in the sector; management's capacity to resist external pressure and employee responses to this environment. Cunningham's focus on the employment relationship in this sector is unique, highlighting a complex and variable pattern of interdependence and subordination between government agencies and voluntary sector employers. The author examines the way in which financial pressures from the state coupled with weak unionization diminish working conditions, arguing that employee morale will not be sustained if tTable of Contents1.
