title: Increasing collaboration within a multidisciplinary neurorehabilitation team: the early stages of a small action research project.
abstract: This paper describes how the process of action research is being used in undertaking a team-focused, practice-based project. The problems that the team has previously experienced in initiating change are outlined. An explanation is advanced as to why action research is an appropriate strategy for the team to adopt, and the early stages of the action research project are described. This is followed by a discussion of how the outcome of such research can be generalizable from one clinical setting to another.
