19th May, 1:30-2:30pm, Interprofessional Education
Join this CPD session to develop your understanding of IPE, its relationship with interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), and practical ways to facilitate meaningful IPE learning opportunities within practice settings.
At the end of this session, you will be able to:
1. Explain the concept of IPE and distinguish it from shared or multi professional learning
2. Recognise the link between IPE and Interprofessional collaborative practice
3. Have an awareness of the benefits of IPE and IPCP on service user and student outcomes
4. Identify the competencies and capabilities associated with interprofessional practice and how these translate into student IPE learning outcomes in practice settings
5. Identify ways in which you could embed meaningful IPE into everyday practice
Who’s it for? Any practice educators and AHP staff who are supporting students on placements and who want to embed IPE opportunities into the practice setting.
Think ahead: What does interprofessional education mean to you and how is this
different from multi professional learning.
