Working together, learning together: exploring interprofessional education (Open - For Attendance)
This workshop is now closed
Summary
There are changes in the veterinary sector that make rethinking our approach to teaching interprofessional skills timely. Veterinary nursing is in the process of being recognised as a profession by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. This places veterinary work more formally on an interprofessional footing and makes raising awareness and understanding of roles, responsibilities and expectations vital.
Aims
The workshop will enable us to establish a collaborative IP network to encourage nearby institutions to work together e.g. vet schools and vet nursing colleges; veterinary, medical and dental institutions, as well as departmental collaboration within institutions. To learn from the experience of medical education?s approach to IPE, to raise awareness of IPE issues in each delegate?s subject area and to formulate solutions.
Activities
The workshop aims to bring those delivering interprofessional learning together to: i. listen to and learn from a speaker involved in IPE in medical education invited to set the scene for the workshop ii. explore attitudes to IPE using a questionnaire sent to delegates prior to the workshop iii. explore understanding of each other?s roles by using Talking Walls iv. Delegates will work in small groups to develop resources for IPEProgramme

Medical education has made great strides in interprofessional education by embedding it in the curriculum and developing models. Many of the issues will be similar, so, it is time to learn from medical education but also to highlight where the veterinary differences will be and to develop our own models and resources.
The workshop will enable us to establish a collaborative IP network to encourage nearby institutions to work together e.g. vet schools and vet nursing colleges; veterinary, medical and dental institutions, as well as departmental collaboration within institutions. A number of IPE learning resources will be developed by delegates to take home and share.
