Abstract
Sue Smith, P Roberts, N Oldham Manchester School of Physiotherapy Introduction Traditional assumptions about professional roles in the National Health Service are being challenged (Allen, 2000). The NHS Plan (2000) has increased the drive for change ‘where the old hierarchal ways of working are giving way to more flexible team working between different clinical professionals’. Current professional groupings may not be sustainable in their current form and new groups and ways of working may have to emerge to meet user-led needs. This qualitative study, driven by the need to recognise the users’ perspectives, captured current practice within a community rehabilitation setting to investigate areas of role difference, skill sharing and commonality between community occupational therapy and physiotherapy staff.
