Interprofessional Collaboration
6 weeks · 0 milestones
Demonstrate collaboration with professionals from at least 2 other health disciplines on a real patient case or health project. Proof requires: (a) a case study or project description (anonymised) explaining the clinical or health context; (b) evidence of the interprofessional interaction — meeting notes, case conference record, or email thread showing real coordination across disciplines; and (c) a reflection identifying what each discipline contributed and what the student learned about collaborative practice. At least one professional from another discipline must provide written confirmation of the collaboration. The case or project must be real — not a simulated interprofessional exercise.

3 milestones
In your clinical placement or training setting, identify an interprofessional team that you have had direct contact with (e.g. a ward team, community health team, or clinic team). Document each professional role present, their specific responsibilities within that team, their professional regulatory body, and how their scope of practice intersects or overlaps with at least one other role in the team. Produce a 1-page team map with annotated intersections.
Proof required
Submit your team map with all roles named, regulatory bodies identified, and at least 3 documented role intersections annotated with an explanation of how coordination is managed at each intersection.
What gets checked
- Each role lists its specific regulatory body — 'regulated by a professional body' is not sufficient.
- Role intersections are specific — 'nurse and physiotherapist both see the patient' is not an intersection; 'RN handover to physiotherapist specifies rehabilitation precautions set by the medical team' is.
- Team map is based on direct observation or participation — not derived from textbook descriptions of ideal team structures.
