Health and social care professionals today work collaboratively with each other and with clients, families, carers and communities to achieve the best outcomes for overall health and well-being. In this subject, you will gain an introduction to the history and context of health professional practice, applying principles of interprofessional practice in contextually appropriate ways. With a focus on interprofessional practice in healthcare, you will explore the roles and functions of people working within health and community service organisations and how these people can work together to deliver health care. Examining ethical, moral, legal and professional standards, and processes for meeting these standards, you will reflect on and analyse factors that will shape the development of your own professional identity. The subject will also help you to identify career opportunities within health and social care.
