Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP) have been promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one way that healthcare providers are able to deliver key health outcomes with ever increasing populations living longer with more chronic and complex disease. As stated in the WHO document, ‘the health workforce [needs to be] more flexible, and better prepared to maximize limited resources’ (World Health Organization, 2010, p. 13). It is clear that most countries will struggle to educate and train enough health professionals to meet these needs, therefore working together more collaboratively and interprofessionally is one of the key ways forward. This concept seems quite easy to talk about and align with, but putting it into practice is more challenging. IPE and CP need to meet certain conditions and most importantly these should include leadership which promotes a team approach (Gilbert, 2005). This chapter will outline how an IPE and CP model of care was implemented in a clinical-service setting where undergraduate and postgraduate health students are educated and trained. The philosophical framework, the leadership model and decision-making processes are discussed as well as the implementation and evaluation of the clinical service.
