Find out why multiprofessional working is so good

Melanie Applegate Midwifery clinical educator and lecturer in health sciences, University of East Anglia

Multiprofessional, also known as multidisciplinary, team working is fundamental to providing high quality, personcentred care, with positive collaboration between experts enabling a deeper understanding of different disciplines, specialist knowledge and skills.
