    Abstract

    There is no doubt that the spaces in which contemporary professional practice is enacted are inherently complex. These spaces hold in tension the practice requirements of being human and technical, discipline-framed as well as interdisciplinary, client-centred yet professionally “managed”, particularised for client and setting but held to evidence-based standards, and priceless in benefit but constrained by cost-efficiency imperatives.
