The research briefing focuses on jointly-organised services for older people and people with mental health problems in the UK only. It identifies different models of working between health and social care services at the strategic, commissioning and operational levels; evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness; factors promoting and obstacles hindering the success of these models; and the perspectives of people who use services and their carers. The main issues are discussed under themes of: organisational issues; cultural and professional issues; and contextual issues. Gaps in the research evidence and the need to develop high-quality, large-scale research into joint and integrated working are also identified. The briefing updates a previous systematic review and excludes papers published before 2000.
