Making it safer to cross professional boundaries The evidence is clear: NHS organisations that are enthusiastic about co-operation and team-working, both within and across boundaries, are more likely to deliver compassionate, high-quality care. Successful teams take the time to stop and ask themselves what they could change and do better. But few teams in the NHS – at all levels – take the time to reflect. With the pressure they are under, it’s simply seen as a luxury.
However we believe it’s not a luxury but an essential, basic requirement of high-performing teams – especially when team members come from very different professional backgrounds.
A new toolkit, commissioned by NHS Future-Focused Finance and developed by The King’s Fund, aims to help address this by supporting collaboration between finance and clinical staff.
