ABSTRACT
With the exception of some pioneering progress in the provision of community care for elderly people, the development of interprofessional work and education in Hong Kong is relatively recent. This chapter begins with a brief outline of Hong Kong's system of health and social care provision. Some of the key policy and organisational initiatives, primarily in elderly services, that have an impact on bringing health and social care professionals to learn and work together are then analysed. Finally, some major issues that need to be considered in the promotion of further developments in interprofessional work and education in Hong Kong are discussed.
