Supporting multi-disciplinary teams

As healthcare services begin to explore ways to reset and restore following the COVID-19 outbreak, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has published a report Developing professional identity in multi-professional teams setting out how team working involving  a wide group of healthcare professionals improves both patient care and staff wellbeing.

Extensively researched, using focus groups and case studies from across the UK, the report also shows:

• How professional identities can be maintained and developed when areas of responsibility can sometimes become blurred.
• Why multi-professional working is well placed to become the standard model for the way care is delivered as services recover from the impacts of the pandemic.
• How productivity and job-satisfaction also increase when traditional silos and working practices are broken down.
