Description

In 2018 UON appointed a Faculty Lead for IPE with a remit to embed IPE into 17 undergraduate health, education and social care programmes, with IPE being assessed at all levels by a shared/common learning outcome. In 2022 the ambition was to further scaffold IPE within the 4 programmes across an entire module, rather than a single learning outcome. Eighteen months of Steering Group Meetings included quality assurance mechanisms such as Change of Approvals for module learning outcomes, the appointment of Core Module Leaders and alignment of teaching and learning content.

This innovative approach to teaching communication and professionalism skills underscores the value of simulation-based education in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. By delivering the sessions interprofessionally, the facilitation team added an extra dimension to the learning to further enhance students’ preparedness for working effectively within the wider interprofessional workforce as future health and social care professionals.
