Definition
‘Interprofessional Education occurs when
two or more professions learn with,
from and about each other to improve
collaboration and the quality of care’
(CAIPE 2002)
No one profession, working in isolation,
has the expertise to respond
adequately and effectively to the
complexity of many service users’
needs’ (CAIPE 2001)
Professional Issues
• Healthcare can be fragmented,
specialised with professional division of
labour with distinct roles, which can lead
to possible conflict.
• Mutual interdependency makes
collaboration essential to achieve patient
outcomes.
• Professional boundaries exist, with
differing views of the patient.
(Finn et al 2010)
