Beschreibung
This book is about what makes interprofessional supervision a success. There has beenan international shift toward this form of supervision, driven by a broad consensus thatmultidisciplinary teams produce better outcomes for service users, combined with a costsaving agenda in which integrated working is seen as the key to increased fi nancial effi ciency.Yet it is an area where practice is ahead of the research; few studies have investigated howbest to deliver effective supervision across disciplinary boundaries. What evidence exists tendsto focus on services for children and there is a dearth of information on supervising staffworking in adult services.This book represents an opportunity to address this gap in the evidence base and offersapproaches to staff supervision from across a variety of different professional perspectives andpractice settings. It draws together a unique blend of researchers, practitioners and serviceusers who identify both the opportunities and challenges of interprofessional supervision, aswell as explore what works best in which context, for whom and why. It is concerned withthe outcomes of this type of supervision for organisations, workers and ultimately serviceusers. Contributions cover social work, healthcare (including hospitals, nursing and midwifery),residential care, community learning disability, mental health and addiction services as well assupervision of personal assistants. The book looks beyond the UK and presents internationalevidence of the incidence and experience of interprofessional supervision with contributionsfrom Canada and New Zealand.The book is divided into three sections. The fi rst part provides an international overview of keyresearch on interprofessional supervision. It includes an update on recent UK policy and practicedevelopments as well as a discussion of service user involvement in staff supervision. Thesecond section looks at innovative approaches to supervision and explores models developedin a variety of practice domains. The third section provides personal accounts of peoples'experiences of this type of supervision and includes contributions from service managers andservice users. It concludes with refl ections on the core themes of the book, making suggestionsfor 'where next?' for research on supervision in adult services.
