A best evidence systematic review of interprofessional education: BEME Guide 9
Summary
Evidence to support the proposition that learning together will help practitioners and agencies work better together remains limited and thinly spread. This review identified, collated, analysed and synthesised the best available contemporary evidence from 21 of the strongest evaluations of IPE to inform the above proposition. In this way we sought to help shape future interprofessional education and maximise the potential for interprofessional learning to contribute to collaborate practice and better care.
