Description
The book provides a critical exploration of the theory and practice of interprofessional learning in health and social care. It makes an important contribution to the emerging evidence base through an in-depth exploration of the processes involved in teaching complex diverse groups, facilitator preparation, curriculum development and inter-institutional collaboration.
Research-based evidence from the Promoting Interprofessional Education (PIPE) project helps teachers to further understand their own practice and build their own theories of teaching interprofessional learning.
This enlightening analysis is vital reading for all professionals involved in formal learning and workplace education. Healthcare education policy makers and shapers will also find it invaluable.
‘Interprofessional education is an essential process for improving collaborative practice and the quality of patient/client care. Collaborative practice in the form of teamwork needs nurturing and supporting if it is to achieve its full potential to improve the health and well being of patients and service users. This book will help teachers to further understand their practice, clarify complex areas and to build their own theories of teaching interprofessional education.’
Elizabeth Howkins and Julia Bray, in the Preface

The authors have a very clear writing style and use examples from practice and their own experiences.
