| Annotation | Two areas of contemporary health and welfare policy are explored, to shed light on how identities and relationships are changing between helping professionals and older people. The article reviews the literature, focusing on interprofessionalism and participation, and professional interactions with older service users. The article highlights the opening up of new spaces in which users and professionals can work together, these created by the breakdown of established boundaries. Preliminary conclusions suggest that in future, greater research emphasis may need to be placed on the negotiated and performative nature of identities and the legitimising spaces created (intentionally and unintentionally) by policy initiatives and wider social trends.
