Incorporating a case study will provide insight into interprofessional collaboration in practice.

Once the Tenchkoff catheter was inserted and education and training completed, John was ready to go home. Through collaborative, multidisciplinary teamwork, he made a significant contribution to enabling John to recover more quickly, retain his independence and maintain a high quality of life.
