Abstract

The importance of interprofessional education (IPE) as a means of equipping health and social care professionals with the skills needed to work effectively in team-based and integrated services is recognised across the globe.

This paper highlights IPE developments that can inform practice and offers a framework of collaboration for the teaching of IPE.

Drawing on the findings from an international research programme the motivational forces for collaboration are presented and the implications for practice teachers considered.
