Health Care Roles

Health Care Roles 

Health care teams are made up of different health professions depending on the context and always include the patient, as well as the patient's family and personal network (if involved). Regardless of who is on the health care team, it is the ability to work together and understand how each member is contributing to quality care that is important. Below are some roles from a sample health care team. Click on each role for a description.
