Abstract

The NHS Executive South West, part of the Department of Health for England, has developed a programme of action to demonstrate that health improvements can be achieved through interprofessional learning. The NHS Executive South West has funded three projects to develop and evaluate interprofessional learning opportunities for health care practitioners at postgraduate and undergraduate levels. The paper describes the origins, progress and early learning from the project sites. The project sites are addressing improvement issues by the application of continuous quality improvement to elderly care, mental health, child and family care, severe and enduring mental heath problems, and the lived experience of people with cancer.
