Body of Assignment

Question 1:

With reference to specific team development theories of choice, critically discuss the role and performance of teams in maintaining systems and structures designed to promote rights, responsibilities, and diversity of service users in healthcare practice.

In attempting this question,you should link discussions and points raised to own individual experiences working in Health and Social Care as much as is possible. Where this is not possible, then a case study should be used.
