MACMILLAN Sustainability and Interprofessional Collaboration: Ensuring Leadership Resilience in Collaborative Health Care

This book is the fourth in the series on leadership, interprofessional education and practice, following on from Leadership Development for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (2014), Leadership and Collaboration: Further Developments for IPE and Collaborative Practice (2015) and Leading Research and Evaluation in Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (2016). Along with policy changes around the globe, these three books have stimulated experts in this area to consider not only the ways in which they introduce and develop interprofessional education and collaborative practice, but also how they evaluate their impacts. In this 4th book, the focus is on the sustainability of these initiatives, sharing insights into factors that promote sustainability including leadership approaches and organisationsal resilience, as well as frequently encountered difficulties, and ways to overcome them. Review “This book provides a true international perspective on interprofessional education and practice (IPEP). It makes a timely and important contribution to the field. As an academic and registered Social Worker with a belief in IPEP I feel this book will support students, academics and practitioners to develop a depth of understanding of IPEP as well as the challenges and progressive ways of working.” ― Dr Mohammed Jakhara. Executive Dean of Faculty – Newman University Birmingham. Prof Doc Health and Social Care, MBA, FHEA, PQSW, CQSW, BA (Hons) Applied Social Studies, HCPC Registered.   “As an educator of students and practitioners and as an interprofessional placement coordinator, this book contributes another valuable resource encompassing rural and global perspectives and the strategies necessary to grow interprofessional practice in fieldwork. These authors are IP pioneers with a significant body of published work as evidence of their expertise, but also their professional and clinical experience means they are able to translate theory to practice with authenticity using ‘real world’ illustrations. I will be recommending this text as the next iteration in their series to students and practitioners alike.” ― Keryn Bolte RN/RM, PG Cert Critical Care, Master of Clinical Education, Student Placement Manager, Going Rural Health Program, Department of Rural Health, Faculty of Medicine, Dental & Health Sciences, The University of Melbourne   “This book is a concise guide to effective leadership in interprofessional education. It clearly defines the three aspects critical to the success of interprofessional education in interprofessional programmes which are; patient-provider interaction, professional teams in the community and supporting organisations. The book systematically builds a framework for solving the real challenge which is building health systems that are centered around relevance, equity, people, quality and cost-effectiveness.” ― Simeon K.

The chapters tend to compliment and contrast each other very effectively. Interesting to have the opportunity to have an insight into cross cultural practice. The book is makes an important contribution and is published at a time as the demand for collaborative practice increases.” ― Emeritus Professor Chris Brannigan University of Derby   “In my former role coordinating interprofessional student placements, liaising with multiple stakeholders, and establishing collaborative partnerships in health and education settings, I would have appreciated being able to dip
