Abstract

As all aspects of industry and the public sector are reorganised to face the onslaught of the current recession, as well as the impact of a single European market in 1992, so the role and function of OH changes within these organisations. Personal skills of OH nurses that have been adequate in the past may now need to be refined to meet the challenges of the 90s, writes Sue Wheeler lecturer in management development at Birmingham University.

Collaboration between nurses and physicians: no longer a choice.

Collaboration, a relationship of interdependence, requires the recognition of complementary roles. Traditionally, physicians generally have not demonstrated collaboration in their work with nurses; nurses, on the other hand, have more often sought a collaborative relationship. But the rapidly changing, increasingly complex and constraining world of health care requires that doctors, nurses, and the institutions that educate and employ them reevaluate the doctor-nurse relationship and assess the value of making it a more collaborative one. This essay deals with the phenomenon of collaboration, why there are compelling reasons to promote it, the barriers that exist between nurses and physicians in achieving collaborative relationships, and strategies to promote change. Comments of experienced observers and summaries of the pertinent research literature are presented.
