IHSCM PowerHour: The long-term impact of Interprofessional Education

Join us for a PowerHour with Dr Melanie Stephens, Associate Professor in Adult Nursing at the University of Salford as she advises on the Long-term impact of an Interprofessional Education initiative within GM Care Home settings. Interprofessional education (IPE) is a process that that brings together learners from different disciplines to learn from, with and about each other.

Come and learn about a model for improving collaborative working, communication and an integrated person-centred approach across learners and health and social care disciplines, along with innovative approaches to professional development – all crucial aspects for delivering high quality care and developing high performing teams!

In this session you will learn:

– about an IPE placement model for health and social care disciplines

– how this can be leveraged for high performing teams

– why its important to have an innovative approach that diversifies current supervision of learners

– how this helps improve service user experience and continuous staff development

– what research says about why its effective & how to utilise in your own organisation
