Abstrakt: The interdisciplinary learning project invited undergraduate adult nursing and social work students from a London university to take part in a qualitative research activity focusing on communication between the two disciplines. The project aimed to provide a direct contribution to the students' retention and progression, enhancing their understanding of inter-disciplinary working at the early stages of professional careers. Students were observed during a table-top exercise in which they jointly worked on deciding priorities of care for a complex family situation. They reflected on the activity afterward, sharing a considerate outlook on their interactions. The project provided new insights for inter-disciplinary learning and teaching, raising awareness of dynamics within inter-disciplinary communication. Most importantly, it recognised that effective, collaborative inter-disciplinary working requires time to develop, maintain and grow. While contemplating 'professional language' relevant to each discipline, we aim to revisit the conversation on teaching and learning for inter-disciplinary communication in the Higher Education setting.
