My interests in professional practice include both the preparation of students for practice and how best to support social workers once in practice and to contribute to evidence informed practice particularly in the area of child care.edit

Handbook for moving towards multiprofessional work offers theoretical background and tools for multiprofessional training, for starting multiprofessional collaboration and for planning and implementing multiprofessional projects. The handbook was developed to provide a resource for educators and professoinals who aim to build bridges between the fields of arts and social work. Lecturers across the areas of arts and social work can use the materials presented in the hendbook to enrich their courses and to explore how multiprofessional work can improve outcomes for those who are in the receipt of their services in more imaginative and creative ways

Providing a user-friendly introduction to Social Work research, this textbook will demystify the most important concepts and show why it is important to embrace evidence-informed practice (EIP). In the face of complex and demanding work, it is crucial not to focus solely on the concept of evidence-based practice but to make use of all the evidence at your disposal and allow this evidence to inform your decisions. This book champions the integration of service user and carer knowledge, along with practitioners’ wisdom and the best research evidence to make a difference for service users.
Containing helpful examples of how to apply EIP to practice encounters, as well as a range of further reading and activities to help you to critically reflect on your experience, this book explores how EIP can be used to enhance your effectiveness as a Social Work practitioner, professional and social scientist.
Chapters in this textbook explore themes and skills you will need to consider and develop in your practice, including:
• Identifying, assessing, and critiquing difference types of ‘evidence’
• Understanding what constitutes research knowledge
• Ethical issues in practice and research
• Implementation of evidence-informed practice and evaluating your practice
• Interprofessional practice and creating evidence-informed cultures
Written by experts in the field, this text is essential reading for all Social Work students and qualified practitioners.

In this article, we identify the basic concepts informing multiprofessional competencies in arts and social work/care, focusing on their specific cultural contextualisation, as framed within the currently running project MOMU (Moving towards Multiprofessional Work in Art and Social Work) funded by the Erasmus+ Programme.[1] In short, the project aims to define competencies in teamwork and enhance educational/teacher knowledge and skills in arts and social work/care (MPW) by developing learning materials and handbooks in this area and embedding this in undergraduate HE provision. It builds on the work carried out in the project MIMO – Moving In, Moving On! which established and embedded the initial methods for MPW into professional practice in Finland and Estonia[2]. (TUAS, 2013) The emphasis of this kind of MPW work lies in combining the strengths of different arts and social work/care professionals to work effectively together with individuals or communities to address the identifi...

ABSTRACT The technique of formylated rocket immunoelectrophoresis for the measurement of serum immunoglobulins has recently been developed. Advantages have been claimed for this technique when compared to the Single Radial Immunodiffusion technique (SRID). Our results indicate that SRID has advantages in reproducibility over the formylated rocket technique and of the two is the method of choice for routine immunoglobulin measurements.

The extracellular growth products of Micropolyspora faeni, Thermoactinomyces vulgaris and Thermoactinomyces candidus were prepared by three methods; (1) double dialysis; (2) growth in tryptone soya broth (TSB) and (3) synthetic broth (AOAC). It was found that double dialysis was superior to growth in TSB or AOAC for the production of M. faeni antigens, as determined by immunoblot. Double dialysis, TSB

In academia, peer review functions as a quality-assurance mechanism which also aims to improve the scientific process as a whole. But few reviewers are provided with any training or mentoring on how to undertake a review. Hugh McLaughlin offers clarification on the process and the objective of peer review feedback and stresses the need for specific critical analysis for authors, which should be done in a supportive manner.

This article is focused on the concern about the retention of child and family social workers in England. Retention of workers is seen as a major issue for the delivery of quality services for service users, stability of workforces and development of social work. The article reviews international studies in relation to retention identifying a gap in relation to studies that have followed up those who indicated they were going to leave child and family social work but were unable to say whether they acted on this intention or not. This study focuses on forty semi-structured interviews with child and family social workers in year 2 of a five-year longitudinal study half of whom had indicated they would remain or leave social work practice and followed them up to as whether they did so or not. The findings indicated that there were major similarities between those who left and those who stayed. However, the importance of the interaction of organisational, job role and individual factor...

This handbook was supposed to be a choral artwork and the result is a very choral and artistic patchwork. In the process of building up the project ‘MOMU – Moving towards Multiprofessional Work’, we sewed, we combined patterns to define new ones. We knew our shapes were different as were our fabrics but we learned to measure and cut in order to create a larger design. The results of this is what you can see in this handbook. We hope you’ll agree that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It has not been easy to piece this together. These types of processes bring with them discussions, arguments, discoveries, hopes, despair and bureaucratic requirements; all inevitable parts of such a complex process. However, it is honest to say that the process has been exciting and paves the way for future and productive collaborations. Along the way some of the participants left us: Carola Boehm and Esther Mercado; some others joined us: Pedro de la Paz. Some changes took place in our u...

This chapter examines the engagement of social work academics in the policy process in the United Kingdom. It begins by presenting an overview of social policy in the United Kingdom and by discussing the emergence of the social work profession in that country. The development of social work education in the United Kingdom and its contemporary features are then depicted. Following these, the methodology and the findings of a study of the policy engagement of UK social work academics are presented. The findings relate to the levels of engagement in policy and the forms that this takes. The study also offers insights into various factors that are associated with these, such as perceptions, capabilities, institutional support and the accessibility of the policy process. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the findings and their implications.

At our main Editorial Board meeting in March 2015, we selected the Best Conceptual and Empirical articles from the journal from the previous year. The process of selection was undertaken by the members of the Board working in pairs with clear criteria who looked at 2 editions each and identified one article from each category to go to the Main Board for their consideration, debate and decision. There was a healthy debate at the Board and in the ‘Best Conceptual Article,’ we finally agreed it was a tie and have awarded the accolade of ‘Best Conceptual Article’ jointly to:
