| Annotation | Four models of inter-professional collaboration are explored, each of them representing points on a continuum from lower to higher levels of collaboration. First, communication: interactions are confined to facilitating the exchange of information. Second, co-ordination: individuals remain in separate organisations and locations, but develop formal ways of working across boundaries. Third, co-location: members of different professions are physically located alongside each other. Finally, commissioning: professionals with a commissioning remit develop a shared approach to the activity. However, evidence in the article suggests that primary health care team (PHCT) teamwork and teamworking across the boundary between primary health care and social care are typically inadequate.
