Working in Partnership

Introduction

Health and the social care is an important sector in our society. Almost every country in the world today has established some department or institution, which monitors the health and the social care.

Now the government tries to do this with the help of these partnerships (Leathard, 2013). Similarly, the partnership in the health and the social care could also be very useful in the prevention and the rehabilitation programs, particularly in the developing countries.

Although the partnerships in the health and social care are producing very good results but yet these partnerships are also facing many problems as well. One of the major problems includes the combining of the social and the medical models. Another important challenge of working in the partnerships is that the people from different cultures and backgrounds work with each other and hence face difficulties. The different organizational culture also affects the working of the partnerships in the health and the social care.
