Joint reviews are an approach to partnership working between those involved in inspection and regulation. They provide great opportunities and some challenges. This article describes a case study of the review of the National Service Framework of Older People. The joint review itself was carried out by the Healthcare Commission, the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) and the Audit Commission through joint inspections in 10 local communities. The article discusses culture and commitment, organisational imperatives and governance.

.Intermediate care is emerging as performing a significant function in bridging the care gap between hospital and home. However it does not emerge from a policy or service background. Relationships between health and social care services and the voluntary sector have their roots in past policies and practice agendas. This study indicates that any partnership will inevitable encounter challenges associated with multidisciplinary and intraprofessional collaborations.

In health and social care in the UK there is increasing emphasis on the need to recognize mental health problems as early as possible, particularly among older people. Both research and policy have identified the difficulties caused by delayed or late awareness of dementia and depression, and the potential benefits of their recognition at earlier stages. This article draws on the output from a series of multidisciplinary dementia workshops to explore the implications of such a shift in practice for interprofessional working. At a time when core specialist mental health teams have been identified as a way forward for dementia care in the UK, this discussion sets out four key bipolar categories derived from the workshops which may be useful in planning, implementing and reviewing the development of services and the drawing of professional responsibilities. These categories are opportunistic recognition versus population screening; referral and responsibility; key working and team working; generalist versus specialist roles. From this discussion we note a further four determinants which in our view need to be addressed in order to promote positive developments in dementia services: learning processes, resource implications, professional capacity and confidence and the impact of new teams on broader systems.
