Effective teamwork within healthcare – Let’s finally make it happen! A realist evaluation

We have identified that team dynamics are likely to be hindered by transient teams, lack of support, dysfunctional leadership and communication, and non-approachable colleagues. There are currently clear difficulties in how doctors interact with those in newer roles, and the ways in which team members are integrated into teams. This is the first research to develop a teamworking programme theory that can be used to support educators, institutions and regulators.
