Description

Health care is under increasing pressure. Budget crises and rising numbers of people with multiple long-term conditions are making collaboration essential to deliver effective care. Collaborating for Health offers a solution: community-oriented integrated care and health promotion. This approach focuses on building teams, networks and communities at local level, where the range of factors affecting people's health can be seen more clearly. By sharing work and expertise between primary care, public health and other organisations, clusters of general practices can integrate efforts for care and health improvement. The book introduces ways to develop community-oriented integrated care in a sustainable way. It also provides practical guidance on how to practise the skills needed to orchestrate most aspects of health and care at local level, with timely specialist input from multidisciplinary primary care teams.
