Unit Catalogue

Interprofessional collaborative practice between allied health, health professionals and clients/patients are vital to maximising person-centred care and effective healthcare delivery. Building on current practice knowledge, this post graduate unit enables students to develop and apply advanced knowledge and skills in interprofessional practice across six domains of competencies essential for effective interprofessional collaboration: role clarification, team functioning, patient-/client-/family-/community-centred care, collaborative leadership, interprofessional communication, and conflict resolution. Students will evaluate the strengths and limitations of different models. They will critically analyse and reflect on their own interprofessional capabilities and competencies as well as review and evaluate a range of strategies and initiatives they can use to facilitate successful interprofessional practice at the organisational and professional level.
