Following the succession of high profile serious case and service reviews (for example Lord Laming, 2003 and\ud Francis, 2013), interprofessional working continues to be an identified area of development within health and social\ud services. In response to this, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and Health and Care Professions Council\ud (HCPC) have issued guidelines and recommendations for interprofessional education to become embedded across\ud the professional courses (NMC, 2010; HCPC, 2014).\ud The University of Huddersfield continued their proactive approach to inter-professional education (IPE) by\ud revalidating all health professional courses in 2012, creating new and innovative modules across the professions.\ud This poster will focus on the experience of facilitating a Year 2 module, ‘Interprofessional working in context’.\ud The module includes students and staff from all fields of nursing, midwifery, occupational therapy, podiatry and\ud physiotherapy, and explores the key features and challenges of interprofessional working within the context of\ud contemporary health and social care services (Day, 2013; Thistlethwaite, 2012). Due to practice placement\ud commitments of the different professions, this module is predominantly delivered through weekly online directed\ud study supported by an online communication tool and a one day conference event mid-way through the academic\ud year. The multiprofessional group assessment encourages students to meet and collaborate with their peers, whilst\ud also considering the priorities and commitments of the different courses. Colleagues from clinical areas are invited to provide the key note lectures to support student participation in creative workshops to consolidate the learning\ud experience.\ud This approach facilitates ‘real life’ experience of team-working within an interprofessional and interagency context.\ud The module philosophy actively encourages the students to work within a team whilst maintaining the integrity of\ud their own profession and the professional codes which regulate them.\ud This poster will be a visual representation of how effective multiprofessional teams are able to work and learn\ud together to successfully deliver effective person centred care. This will include a metaphorical visual reflection of\ud staff and student experiences on the module |
