Centre for Excellence in Interprofessional Learning in the Public Sector
Lead Institution: University of Southampton, Director: Professor Debra Humphris CETL:IPPS will target post qualified students (PQS) working in the public sector areas of health, social care and education. It will focus on interprofessional learning opportunities for qualified health, social care and education practitioners linked to continuing professional development. The CETL therefore builds upon and extends the initial work of the New Generation Project which has seen major curriculum reform across health and social care pre qualifying programmes, integrating interprofessional learning for over 1200 pre pre-qualifying students per year. The working definition of interprofessional learning is based on the provision of opportunities for ‘two or more professions to learn from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care’. The CETL:IPPS will progress the principles of embedded curriculum innovation and promote the reward and recognition of teaching and learning excellence within the institution and beyond. Across all public services the emphasis is now upon collaboration and integration, inter-organisational and inter-agency working. The CETL:IPPS provides a major opportunity to work in a partnership between the University, employers and regulators to create conditions, which facilitate shared learning opportunities for PQS from the public sector workforce undergoing continuing professional development (CPD). In order to deliver the overall work of the CETL there are a range of activities that will be developed:
