The idea that professionals in health and social care should ‘learn together to work together’ in ‘interprofessional education’ (IPE) is not new. Nevertheless, interest in this concept has grown dramatically. By learning together, professions will better understand each other and value what others bring to the practice of collaboration. Through working together more effectively, the quality of care and outcomes for users will be improved, but what is the evidence to support this? How can effective and sustainable IPE programmes be designed and run? What theoretical perspectives are useful? How can programmes be evaluated? This essential guide provides a thorough introduction to IPE in health and social care. It examines the research on IPE in detail, providing much-needed practical advice. This second edition includes updates to research and policy internationally, examples of successful programmes and methods of evaluation, and provides readers with an essential set of IPE ‘do’s and don’ts’.
"(Carpenter and Dickinson) provide an introduction grounded in experience, evidence and scholarship with helpful pointers to dependable sources for further reading." International Journal of Integrated Care, Vol 8, 2008.
"Never has there been a more pressing need for a succinct, accessible and dependable guide to interprofessional education. John Carpenter and Helen Dickinson respond. Practical throughout, their cogent critique builds on best practice, reinforced by emerging evidence and theory, as they challenge their reader to be no less rigorous in reviewing their performance in commissioning, designing, delivering and evaluating interprofessional education programmes. Well reasoned recommendations focus on much yet to be done." Hugh Barr, President, CAIPE (The UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education
“This second edition succeeds in capturing the quickening pace of interprofessional developments since the first, by introducing a wealth of recent national and international perspectives, grounded in evidence, challenged by argument and illuminated with the authors' insight.” Hugh Barr, President, Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE)
