Leadership and Management in Integrated Services cover

Government drivers promote integrated health and social care services for children and adults yet the field is immensely complex, with the involvement of multiple agencies, professionals and other stakeholders. This book will help students and new practitioners make sense of this rapidly changing scene. It provides an overview and introduction to core leadership and management principles, the key management structures and organisations that comprise integrated services. It also considers some of the differences and dilemmas arising from the range of professions and organisations involved in delivering integrated services.

"Offers a clear insight into the issues facing leadership and management in IS. Extremely well written and easy to understand." Senior Lecturer, University of Worcester.
Good to have a book that starts from the premise of integrated working and relates this to the work context. -- Dr Hazel Wright * drupal *
This is a useful book although the style is less academic than is required for this module, which is a professional doctorate. However, it provides a useful grounding for students new to the subject and has some useful case studies/exercises. -- Dr Jennifer Gosling * drupal *
This textbook is well written and provides essential guidance for both qualified practitioners and those about about to qualify.
The use of case studies and activities assists in applying the principles -- Geoff Speight * drupal *
I used this more for working on course material and notes rather than recommending to my students - interesting -- Miss Isabelle King * drupal *
This book gives good insight into the leadership challenges for integrated services and highlights the need for new approaches within the sector.

The book is easy to follow and would appeal to a wide range of students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. -- Mrs Sharon Towse * drupal *
great undergraduate text -- Ms Melanie Feek * drupal *
