Team Working and Effectiveness in Health Care
The challenges of organising health care in the modern United Kingdom context are
considerable. There are continual improvements in medical technologies, greater levels
of knowledge and awareness amongst patient populations and increasing demands for
the variety of sources of health care available within the NHS. The provision of free health care at the point
of delivery to the population has become one of the most important issues in the national political agenda in the early part of the
twenty-first century. At the same time the NHS has become a massively complex institution characterised by large
organisations, repeated restructurings, and subject to a wide range of political and economic pressures. The response of the government has been to promise a huge increase in spending on the NHS. A key challenge is how this better funded delivery of health care can be managed to achieve good, fair and cost effective services for the whole population. A primary prescription that policy makers and practitioners have offered for meeting such a challenge facing the NHS is the development of multidisciplinary team working.
