Purpose: The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of care professionals in multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial collaboration, and their experiences of interactions with childbearing families within the context of the FACAM project.
Methods: Eight focus groups were conducted with 32 multidisciplinary care professionals working with childbearing families in vulnerable positions. A thematic analysis was conducted, with positioning theory as the theoretical framework focusing on storylines, positioning and speech-acts.
Results: Two overall themes were constructed. Theme one: Cross-sectorial collaboration and the influence on the care provided. Theme two: Interaction with and assessment of women and families' care needs and their influence on the care provided, with three subthemes; a) Establishment of a trustful relationship, b) Assessments of vulnerable positions in relation to function in everyday life, c) Interactions with the woman or family depending on their needs.
Conclusion: Care professionals found needs-adapted and tailored care meaningful. Well-functioning multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial collaboration was important to support the families.

Background: People with hand osteoarthritis (HOA) experience difficulties performing activities of daily living (ADL). Referral for occupational therapy is rare despite support for non-pharmacological interventions by international treatment recommendations. HANDY, a multidisciplinary cross-sectorial management program for people with HOA, includes procedures for needs evaluation and referral for occupational therapy performed by general practitioners (GPs) as well as a group-based occupational therapy intervention delivered in municipal rehabilitation settings.

Introduction: Otitis media (middle ear disease) severity and chronicity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as gaps in socioeconomic outcomes related to hearing loss, indicates a breakdown in the current ear and hearing care system. The ear and hearing care system spans multiple sectors due to long-term impacts of otitis media and hearing loss in health, education and employment, necessitating a multi-disciplinary cross-sectorial approach to ear and hearing care. Public policies shape the current ear and hearing care system and here it is argued that a critical public policy analysis across different sectors is needed, with strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership and guidance.

Background: Neurorehabilitation is interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial, requiring the coordinated effort of diverse sectors, professions, patients and communities to manage complex condition-related disabilities. A more holistic approach to experimental rehabilitation can incorporate individualized treatment plans into rehabilitation research to improve overall clinical care.
Objective: This case aims to highlight the benefit of collaboration between neurology, psychiatry, physiatry and rehabilitation therapists to successfully rehabilitate complex patients.
