THE EDITORIAL BOARD

The Journal of Interprofessional Care promotes collaboration within and between education, practice and research in health and social care. It provides a channel to communicate ways in which interprofessional education can cultivate collaboration in practice which can, in turn, improve the quality of care for individuals, families and communities. It treats research as both a collaborative field in its own right and as a means to evaluate interprofessional education and practice.

Since its launch in 1992, the Journal has taken a progressively broader view of health and social care. This now ranges from the provison of personal care at home and in hospital to community development and the creation of a healthier environment. Contributors and readers include service users, students, teachers, trainers, practitioners, managers, policy makers and researchers in education, health, housing, law enforcement and social services, including charitable and religious organisations. Published for an international audience, the Journal encourages the exchange of experience and expertise between contributors and readers across continents and between countries. Each issue is the product of collaboration between UK an North American editorial teams, supported by members of an international Advisory Board. In addition to original, peer-reviewed papers, regular features also include editorials, abstracts, book reviews and News and Views.

The journal welcomes contributions relating to interprofessional care ranging from the practical to the philosophical, from the providers to the users. All contributions are independently refereed.
