Abstract

This research is part of a more extensive research project in which the Departments of Social
Work, Nursing and Communication collaborated to investigate the experiences of senior

recommendations to enhance quality multi-disciplinary health care service delivery to a
disadvantaged community by the students of the University as part of their experiential
learning.
