Description

As patient care becomes increasingly complex, meeting patient needs and tackling health inequities requires the combined expertise of various health and care professionals. This highlights the critical role of collaboration among professionals to deliver high-quality, safe, and person-centred care. Simulation-based education in a practice setting offers a unique opportunity for authentic interprofessional education (IPE) to promote effective teamwork and collaboration, communication, and shared leadership between different professions. However, educational activities in practice often occur in professional siloes and opportunities to collaborate and pool resources are missed. This seminar will present insights from a 2024 survey examining the implementation of IPE in practice across Scotland, alongside NHS Borders' strategic objectives to integrate simulation-based education, foster interprofessional learning (IPL). This seminar aims to encourage others to challenge the status quo of educational siloes in practice and recognise collaborative opportunities for IPE and SBE.
