Modules

The Interprofessional Education (IPE) Framework within the School of Health and Life Sciences is focused upon the interprofessional outcomes as identified by the World Health Organisation (2010) and is similar to those embedded in the health and social care curricula of Canadian and North American Universities. 

The IPE model (University of British Columbia Model of Interprofessional Education) enables students to move from an ‘Exposure’ to interprofessional working, through ‘Immersion’ and collaboration in  interprofessional teams (in authentic simulated training environments), to ‘Mastery’, characterised by the integration of values, attitudes and skills.  Throughout this journey students have opportunities to reflect upon the interprofessional nature of current health and social care delivery and its impact on safe and effective professional practice.

Modules

Reflecting the interprofessional nature of working practice, modules are delivered with students from different disciplines including Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Radiography,  Diagnostic Imaging, Oral Health Sciences, Dietetics and, Social Work, offering opportunities to broaden the student experience and explore common aspects of care provision.
