This chapter provides an overview of key concepts and theoretical perspectives used in the anthology and points out fundamental challenges in the practice of professional welfare. ‘Competence’ and ‘knowledge’ often have different meanings, and there is a need for increased awareness of the understanding of these concepts. This chapter highlights how the managerial discretion, learning, system blindness, power executing and paradoxes may cause tensions and how these in turn may inhibit the realization of required changes. Internal or external job recruitment may have an impact on managers’ freedom to act. To raise the quality and competence within the professional welfare services, it is necessary to be aware of the unique and multi-faceted challenges in the field.

This chapter on the challenges of interdisciplinary co-operation between Municipal Health/Social Care and Child Protection respectively is based on the directives of public authorities that interactions often challenge interdisciplinary co-operation. The research studies on which we based the discussion indicate that there are several challenges associated with this form of co-operation. The discussion has its basis in the social constructivist perspective, where the focus is on the implications of the ontologies and epistemologies for interdisciplinary co-operation. Further, the discussion shows that interdisciplinary co-operation challenges the hierarchy of knowledge and user participation within the services. The chapter argues that interdisciplinary co-operation has, to some extent, the potential for further knowledge development.

This chapter focuses on how nurses should act towards Sámi patients in order to promote cultural safety in meetings with the healthcare system. The method applied is a secondary analysis of interviews of 12 persons, as well as participatory observations. The findings show that there still are barriers between health personnel and Sámi patients due to the historic legacy and lack of knowledge. The barriers can be linguistic challenges, different understandings of an illness’s causes and authority distance due to the notion of the Sámi as inferior human beings.
