In so doing it explores the use of the term 'partnership' as a guiding principle and critically examines its merit. Chapters cover: Users and Providers, Mental Health, Information Giving, and Service Partnerships. The conclusion examines the implications for partnership working in contemporary practice and shows how partnership is currently understood and practised by health care professionals. The chapters are presented in a systematic manner to aid readability. The term 'partnership' is widely used throughout the health and social services. It is applied to different contexts and with different intentions. The book provides detailed exemplars of 'real' partnerships in health and social care, which readers can explore further with a view to developing their own practice and the practice of others.
