Evidence from the introduction of interprofessional education and interprofessional practice programs in tertiary education and workplaces suggests that their success is highly context-dependent. Similarly, professional strategies to circumvent initiatives which would diminish power and centrality can be successful. This paper argues that neo-liberal modes of governance, cultural shifts and pedagogical and educational changes may be less influential in restructuring professional work and identities than usually assumed. In so doing, the paper argues that professional, policy and discursive cultures operate according to varying temporalities and that organisational and professional strategies which work to re-embed modes of action and a professional habitus offer covert resistance to neo-liberal reshaping of health care. However, contrary to the labour process theory literature, such modalities of resistance are not necessarily ‘progressive’. Rather, it is likely that relatively conservative structures of modern professional organisation and status are more powerful than might be assumed."
