Training to improve collaborative practice: a key component of strategy to reduce mental ill health in the offender population
Internationally there are unacceptably high numbers of people in contact with the criminal justice system (e.g. in police custody, in court, in prison) who have mental health issues. Addressing mental health in the offender population is essential to maintain public safety, improve the wellbeing of the offender and their family, reduce reoffending and the impact of this on the public purse.
Collaboration, Coproduction and Social Innovation
This chapter presents a view of social innovation as a process of knowledge coproduction between interdisciplinary actors. It offers theoretical perspectives of knowledge classification and activity theory as a means of understanding this process. It provides recommendations on how the public sector workforce may be prepared to engage in coproduction to achieve social innovation, considering some of the values and competencies they require and practical ways, through transformational learning and crossing boundary workshops, to achieve this.
Lack of theory: Educational Malpractice: Developing Theoretical Rigour in Interprofessional Education
This presentation was originally given at the EIPEN 4th European Conference on Interprofessional Practice & Education. Quality of life in health and social care. An interprofessional matter held September 11-13, 2013 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Learning theories and interprofessional education: A user's guide
There is increasing interest in the theoretical underpinning of interprofessional education (IPE) and writers in this field are drawing on a wide range of disciplines for theories that have utility in IPE. While this has undoubtedly enriched the research literature, for the educational practitioner, whose aim is to develop and deliver an IPE curriculum that has sound theoretical underpinnings, this plethora of theories has become a confusing, and un-navigable quagmire.
Evolving theory in interprofessional education: Conclusion report
Final report from the Economics Research Council funded seminar series on the development of theory in IPE. Precursor to development of the In-2 Theory community of practice.
IN-2-THEORY--Interprofessional theory, scholarship and collaboration: a community of practice
Theoretical awareness is essential in the development and delivery of effective interprofessional education and collaborative practice (PECP). The objective of this paper was to explain the origins and purpose of an international network, IN-2-THEORY--interprofessional theory, scholarship and collaboration: a community of practice (CoP) that aims to build theoretical rigor in IPECP. It explains why the network is viewed as a CoP and lays out the way forward for the community based on the principles for developing a CoP outlined by Wenger, McDermott, and Snyder (2002).;
Testing theory in interprofessional education: Social capital as a case study
Theory is essential to understand our interprofessional educational (IPE) practice. As a discipline, IPE has moved from being widely atheoretical to having a plethora of theories imported from the psychosocial disciplines that have utility to understand, articulate and improve IPE practice and evaluation. This paper proposes that when taking this deductive approach to theoretical development in IPE, a greater focus must now be placed on the rigorous testing of these theories within the IPE context.
IN-2-THEORY NETWORK
We are an international network closely affiliated to, and an overlapping membership with, GRIN. We aim to develop social science theory, and explore its practical application, in interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC), interprofessional education (IPE) and research. We aim to build sustainable working relationships with international colleagues to strengthen theoretical underpinnings of IPC and IPE and bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Interagency Training to Support the Liaison and Diversion Agenda
In England and Wales there are an unacceptably large number of people in prison or in contact with the criminal justice system who have mental health issues. Integrated and effective interagency collaboration is required between the criminal justice system and mental health services to ensure early diagnosis, treatment, appropriate sentencing or diversion of these individuals from the criminal justice systems into mental health services. Diversion and liaison schemes are proposed as a means to integrated service provision through positioning mental health professionals wit
Theoretical insights into interprofessional education: AMEE Guide No. 62
In this Guide, we support the need for theory in the practice of interprofessional education and highlight a range of theories that can be applied to interprofessional education. We specifically discuss the application of theories that support the social dimensions of interprofessional learning and teaching, choosing by way of illustration the theory of social capital, adult learning theory and a sociological perspective of interprofessional education.
