  3. Multi-Professionalism Department of Health, 2000. A health service for all talents: developing the NHS workforce. • access to high quality services when needed, seamless care between primary, secondary and tertiary settings • “It is about looking at the workforce in a different way, as teams of people rather than as different professional tribes. For too long we have planned and trained staff in a uni-professional/uni-disciplinary way without a clear and comprehensive look at the future.” • " . . . it is important that the NHS should work together with the higher education providers and accreditation bodies to develop education and training arrangements which are genuinely multi professional."

  4. Multi-Professional Training • shared learning - in clinical settings as well as the classroom • common learning objects • credit transfer – between disciplines and between Institutions • HEI’s are being asked to work collaboratively, with awareness of their particular specialisms, rather than competitively Core Middleware Programme Meeting 16 May 2005
