| Annotation | In Bob Hudson's first article on integrated team working, the focus was on the nature of the front-line integration of the Sedgefield Integrated Team (SIT). Positive findings were reported on the ways in which professionals from disparate backgrounds under single management were working together for service users. However, it is important to nail the myth that front-line staff will happily and creatively collaborate, if only managers would leave them to it. The reality is that initiatives like SIT have no qualities of spontaneous growth or self-perpetuation - they need to be planned, created and nurtured by policy-makers and managers. This article looks at how these activities - known locally as the ACCESS programme (Adult Community Care Enhancement Strategy for Sedgefield) - were undertaking in Sedgefield. (RH). |
