| Annotation | This article reflects 'practice wisdom' on the development of inter-professional partnerships for older people in Knowsley, a metropolitan borough in north west England. It is suggested that most inter-professional partnership working continues to sit outside mainstream services, and that integration and seamless service remain a significant challenge. The focus is on local plans for service reconfiguration ('Go Integral') and their likely implications for non-traditional services such as intermediate care and falls prevention. Finally, the social care and social work values are shown to glue the system together so that it becomes easily accessible and meaningful to older people. While there a role for the single assessment process (SAP) in this scenario, it is noted that difficulties with implementation persist, not least an IT solution. (KJ/RH). |
