The research project is aimed at exploring and describing collaboration in health and social care, with a focus on the clients and the professionals´ perceptions and the structure of collaborative care in micro-systems. The aim of the preliminary study was to explore how members of multi-profession healthcare teams talk about their team. In the second study the aim was to identify and describe difficulties perceived by health professionals in inter-profession team projects. Statements regarding verbal actions and resolutions were explored to enable discussions of the implications for inter-profession learning. In the forthcoming studies the focus will be on how clients, relatives and professionals experience client involvement in the team and in micro-systems. The studies are being held within the framework of the research programme “Bridging the Gaps".
