Collaborative care in primary care: the influence of practice interior architecture
This research explores the influence of primary care practice interior architecture on face-to-face on-the-fly communication for collaborative care. An observational study was undertaken to compare face-to-face informal interactions between staff in three primary care practices of differing interior architecture. Data collected from practices included: direct observations floor plans, photographs, interviews, and surveys.
Observation of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC) in primary care teams
This integrative review highlights the need to look critically at the body of research purported to investigate interprofessional collaboration in primary care settings and suggests the value of using direct observational methods to elucidate this. Direct observation of collaborative practice in everyday work settings holds promise as a method to better understand and articulate the complex phenomena of interprofessional collaboration, yet only a small number of studies to date have attempted to directly observe such practice.
Comparing evaluation responses of an IPE initiative in nursing and medical programmes
This study describes and compares evaluation feedback from students in undergraduate nursing and medicine programmes about the learning outcomes of an interprofessional education initiative. Findings were interpreted to indicate that students from both programmes valued the learning outcomes, and this was greater at the end of the session. Notably, the perceived value of interprofessional learning was higher for nursing students than medical students before and after the session.
Interprofessional Education for Cancer Care
This evaluation explored student and tutor reactions to IPE, and any changes in perceptions and attitudes. A workplace-based, 6-hour IPE pilot on cancer care, led by clinical tutors, was undertaken in a New Zealand hospital. Both students and tutors reported benefits from having IPE in the workplace environment, with cancer care seen as a suitable topic. Students reported a better understanding of professional roles, skills and the provision of collaborative care, and suggested other professions should be included in future IPE.
Undergraduate interprofessional education and building teamwork skills in general practice
This article is the first of two “back-to-back” perspectives by professionals debating opposing views as to whether IPE in the undergraduate years is essential to building teamwork skills in general practice. This perspective argues it is too late to start learning teamwork skills as graduates, when clinical responsibility and patient-care stakes are high. For any complex clinical skill, practice for novices is best done in a safe learning environment, and teamwork is no exception.
Exploring interprofessional, interagency multimorbidity care
Cases constructed from multiple data sources illustrate the complexity of day-to-day, interprofessional, interagency multimorbidity care. While consultation is the most frequent mode of professional interaction, targeted coordinated and collaborative interactions (including the patient) are highly effective activities. Greater attention should be given to developing and facilitating these interactions and determining who should lead them.
Substance Use Disorder and Older Adults
A ten-minute video and an accompanying discussion guide were developed to present to clinical faculty and students participating in an interprofessional care coordination wellness clinic servicing low-income older adults living independently in the community setting. The video was designed to highlight stigma and ageism facing older adults with SUD and serve as the basis for discussion among learners. The process for creating and evaluating the video and discussion guide will be shared including the role of older adults with lived experience of SUD in the process.

IPEC competencies scaffolding survey
Dear Interprofessional Healthcare Colleagues,
We are reaching out to request your valuable assistance in our research study, titled " Scaffolded framework for interprofessional competencies: A validation study." This Delphi study will be used to create a scaffolded framework of the interprofessional competencies (IPEC competencies version 3). We hope this framework can be used in the future to enhance understanding of dosing of interprofessional education and interprofessional simulation.
