Abstract

Beyond the convention:a qualitative survey inside the Sannio primary care Centres.Within primary care, multidisciplinary team working is essential to promote and maintain the health whilst improving service effectiveness. This study aims to explore the effects of the new organisation of the primary care on the professional and emotional level of the professionals working in the three primary care Centres in Sannio, Benevento, utilizing the focus group technique. Our findings show the professional and organizational effort of primary care professionals to change working methods and tools. Despite teamwork being an efficient and productive way of achieving goals and results, several barriers exist that hinder its potential from becoming fully exploited.
