The Partnership Initiative in Nursing and Social Services: Practical Collaboration in Services for Older People
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on the Partnership Initiative in Nursing and Social Services (PINSS), a project that placed community nurses within social services Assessment and Care Management Teams (ACMTs) within two Social Services Departments (SSDs) within the East Midlands. The project aimed to assess the impact of the nurses on the social services environment and the parallel effects on the nurses of working in such contexts. The paper observes that the nurses had a positive impact within the ACMTs and they reported having found the experience both stimulating and valuable for their own development. Although the project was felt to have been highly successful, questions remain about the extent to which the location of community nurses within social services assessment and care management teams represents the best way forward for inter-professional working in social and health care for older people.
