Abstract

One of the biggest challenges faced by workplace educators is the design and implementation of training that primarily requires an attitudinal change or a change in perspective. Currently in the health sector internationally there has been highlevel policy impetus given to interprofessional collaboration, yet health professions primarily educate their new practitioners in silos. The most influential consideration of the role and importance of interprofessional education (IPE) appears in reports published by the World Health Organization (WHO). In its latest report, the WHO considered a range of studies published in the literature (including a systematic review) and carried out extensive consultation culminating in the Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice launched in 2010 (WHO, 2010).
