Learning and teaching approaches

In interprofessional learning sessions we make extensive use of actual and simulated case material in order to prepare for or support collaborative practice. The faculty has expertise and resources in a number of areas which supports interprofessional education:

• Virtual learning environment via studentcentral
• Flexible learning environment – use of a fully equipped flat to support collaborative learning developed by School of Nursing and Midwifery but used by all professions
• Expertise in use of Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) and Problem Based Learning (see Professor Gaynor Sadlo's staff profile for further details on Problem Based Learning)

Interprofessional education occurs via planned learning and teaching sessions and in specially organised day conferences.
