The Learning and Teaching Support Network for Health Sciences and Practice commissioned this review from the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) to help teachers engage effectively in interprofessional education. The paper reviews arguments for shared learning for health and social care professions in the Government workforce and training strategy – collaboration, substitution and accelerated career progression – noting concern expressed by universities and their teachers to clarify ends and means.

Recently, I visited Virginia Commonwealth University to participate in the Emswiller Symposium, an interprofessional, multi-institutional meeting supported by Jewell Emswiller in memory of her husband, Carl.  During the visit I learned that Carl, a pharmacist, had been a trailblazer in promoting interprofessional team work in his community of Winchester, Va.  I’m certain that Carl would have loved the energy of the meeting in his honor.

The turn of the Century was a watershed in the short history of interprofessional education (IPE) in the United Kingdom (UK) when the Labour government promoted “common learning” to be built in to the mainstream of pre-registration professional education for all the health and social care professions to help implement its modernisation strategy (Secretary of State for Health, 2000; Department of Health, 2004).

This bibliography lists sources in the English language and refers to interprofessional education (IPE) in health, social care and other fields with reference to collaborative practice and the improvement of care and safety. Those in Section One have been written since 2000 and can be accessed on the internet free of charge. Those in Section Two are books published since 2000 primarily or substantially dealing with or informing IPE brought to CAIPE's attention, known to me personally or reviewed in the Journal of Interprofessional Care.
