  1. Learning and Teaching ConferenceHealth & Human Sciences Faculty ShowcaseGraduate Attributes and Interprofessional Education Jenny Lorimer Lead for Interprofessional Education

  2. Background • ‘As the range of knowledge and skills has expanded, so new professional groups have developed to meet the needs of individual patients. It becomes clear that no single professional group can cover all the ground and provide all that is required for each patient, hence the need to work in teams and to share experience and skills across the professions’ (Calman, K. 2005)

  3. What is Interprofessional Education? • “inter-professional education occurs when two or more professions learn with, from and about one another to improve collaboration and the quality of care” (CAIPE, 2002) • To enhance teamwork by health and social care workers in order to improve the quality of the service user’s experience through the more efficient and effective delivery of care and support

  4. Brief Outline of Modules • 15 credits • Taught at level 4 and level 6 • Student cohorts of approx 900 • Twelve disciplines involved • Teaching teams of 30 – 40 • Large group sessions (Weston Auditorium) and mixed discipline small groups

  5. Professionalism, employability and enterprise- opportunities • Mixed discipline small group work – facilitated and non-facilitated • Discipline representatives • Case – based discussions • Tasks for formative assessment e.g. Posters, rich pictures

  6. Professionalism, employability and enterprise- student feedback ‘By targeting IP learning and communication we can carry it into practice’ ‘Setting a path for the future providing better and more effective healthcare for patients and staff’ ‘Really highlighted the areas that we can impact and make improvements as we move into our professional careers’ ‘Reinforced my understanding of effective teamwork’

  7. ‘Learned an awful lot about other professions, myself and how I work within a group, my strengths and weaknesses’ ‘It has made me aware of how effective IP working is and how valuable it is to deliver the best standard of care for our patients’ ‘ It demonstrates that we are much better as a group than working as an individual. We all have a common cause and need to rely on each other to provide holistic care’ ‘I have found it very useful and will definitely use the skills I have learned later in my professional life’

  8. ‘I was amazed how everyone in my group contributed. When we work in the ‘real world’ we will surely work as passionately as we did in group work towards the common aim of patient care’

  9. Intellectual depth, breadth and adaptability- opportunities • Groups working independently – no f2f between teaching team and students • Patient stories • Photo-stories and video that illustrate failings • Panel discussion

  10. Intellectual depth, breadth and adaptability – student feedback ‘I hadn’t anticipated learning so much about other disciplines – brilliant experience’ ‘Module is very effective and I love working with different professions’ ‘Module has really made changes in me’

  11. Respect for others- opportunities • Very diverse student cohort/ teaching team • Patient stories • ‘Meet the Professions’ • Students assigned to groups

  12. Respect for others – student feedback ‘Opportunity to share experiences is very powerful’ ‘Nice to gain different perspectives and see what other people really do’ ‘This has benefitted my practice and I will be more confident and comfortable when talking to other professionals in practice as I have an awareness of their job roles’

  13. Social responsibility - opportunities • Group work • Patient stories • Considering other professional perspectives

  14. Social responsibility ‘We need to be educated about the realities’ ‘Patients’ stories were, in my opinion, pivotal and amazing to listen to’ ‘Makes it as real as to how people really have to struggle within the NHS’ ‘Fantastic role models and examples of how the system can let people down’ ‘Definitely made me think regarding IP practice and how it CAN be done – scope for taking into the wider community'
