Uxbridge, Middlesex

Mrs M Heard or Dr John Plvretveit, Health Services Centre, BIOSS, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH (tel 0895 56461)

community teams and care management

For managers and team leaders of community multidisciplinary teams. Leading a team of practitioners from different professions is a difficult task, especially without clear authority and support from higher management. Relationships with profession-managers are particularly important, but these roles are themselves changing and unclear. Often community services are set up without changing traditional systems and structures and team leaders have to build a team philosophy while managing the conflicts and contradictions which arise. This workshop draws on a successful seven-year programme of research and consultancy with over 8 0 teams which has built up an understanding of the problems and how to prevent or overcome them. No assumptions are made about a single best type of team leader role or team organisation - a number of types of interprofessional co-operation are considered for different circumstances. Details from above address.
