Effective Examples of Interprofessional Education and the role that trust plays
The Australian Pharmacy Council invites you to submit an abstract for consideration for inclusion as a 15-minute presentation in the 2025 IPE Colloquium™ event program, Breaking boundaries: Education as an enabler of trust in healthcare.
The program centres on preparing students for a future shaped by expanded scopes of practice, misinformation, and planetary health. Now, more than ever, the role of interprofessional education (IPE) is pivotal in rebuilding trust across the health professions.
Under this overarching theme, we invite presentations by teams on examples of Interprofessional Education and the role that trust plays in this. They should align with Learning Outcomes (LO’s) 4 and 5 listed below, and could include (but is not limited to):
-
An IPE activity that develops trust between students
-
How to design and implement an IPE activity through a consumer-led approach
-
Example of student-led or student-driven IPE
Who is encouraged to submit
-
We are seeking at least 2 presenters per presentation, from different professions. Multiple additional authors can be included in your abstract submission. Presenters should be educators with current or past effective examples of interprofessional education, with a focus on trust, from any healthcare profession.
-
2 authors per submission will receive sponsored registration, travel to and from your city (in Australia), and 1 x night accommodation from APC.
In addition, you have the option to invite a student (or students) to contribute their perspective on the IPE activity being presented. Students will not be funded but may have the option of applying for other funding sources, e.g. NAPSA for pharmacy students.
