Interprofessional Practice for Healthcare Teams - Full Day Workshop

Interprofessional practice (IPP) promotes the active participation of each health professional in patient care, with all health professionals working together and fully engaging patients and those who support them, to meet the needs of the patient.

‘Interprofessional practice occurs when multiple health workers from different professions work together with patients and their carers and families to provide high quality care and comprehensive health services across settings’ (WHO, 2010).

Southern Queensland Rural Health (SQRH) provides training to assist in developing the interprofessional skills of health professionals based on the Canadian Interprofessional Competency Framework. This framework identifies that Interprofessional Practice requires an integration of six competencies to enable optimal health outcomes:

• Team communication

• Role clarification and negotiation

• Team differences/disagreements processing

• Team functioning

• Collaborative leadership, and

• Relationship-focused care/services.

This one-day workshop is targeted at health professionals who would like to improve their knowledge of IPP in order to implement it in their everyday practice and be an advocate for change in their team.

This is an in-person event only. BYO lunch or there is a canteen on-site.

Registrations will commence from 8:15am for an 8:30am start.
