Abstract

This chapter looks at teams within the current context of healthcare and the importance of psychological safety. It considers the role of the leader in a team, how to build and manage effective teams, and explores the value of support and challenge in helping teams work well. The effectiveness of teamwork is crucial within healthcare, and it is the connection of core values and aims which bind healthcare teams and can make them highly capable. A group is defined as a number of individuals assembled together or having some unifying relationship. Established teams usually fall into three basic sets they are : high-performance teams, OK teams or functional teams and struggling teams. Healthcare is a high-stakes environment. Therefore, the demands on healthcare teams are constant, complex and dynamic, and we have witnessed this at a much higher level during the pandemic. One key to effective teamworking is to support and promote diversity.
