An Interprofessional Learning Experience for Trainee General Practitioners in an Academic Urban Minor Injuries Unit with Advanced Nurse Practitioners (Emergency)

Interprofessional education (IPE) is defined as an intervention where members of more than one health or social care profession, or both, learn interactively together for the explicit purpose of improving interprofessional collaboration or the health/wellbeing of patients or both [1]. The acknowledgement of the importance of IPE in fostering collaboration and teamwork is echoed throughout the literature [2,3]. That said, IPE is not without its challenges, because it necessitates an immense commitment toward the aim of improving interprofessional care and subsequent patient health outcomes [4].
