title: Joint working. Prospects of partnership.
abstract: Joint working between organisations and professions is a key part of many of this government's initiatives, including health action zones. To work effectively together, professionals must overcome the problems of different cultures and different patterns of accountability. Teamworking across the boundaries of health and social care is generally inadequate.
