This volume presents a systematic review of interprofessional education in health and social care. This is accompanied by a wider-ranging critique of interprofessional education, grounded by experience, and informed by sources beyond the evaluations that qualified for inclusion in the review. Synthesising the evidence base for interprofessional education nevertheless remains central, with 353 studies surveyed in the first instance, from which 107 studies form the basis for the final analysis.<br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>The book does much more than amass evidence. It revisits conventional wisdom; setting an agenda to help interested parties perform better by applying lessons learned, remedying weaknesses and renewing efforts to address unanswered questions. The first three chapters set the scene for the systematic review and its findings. The middle section of the book articulates the findings of the review. Finally, the closing chapters consider values and attitudes, theoretical perspectives and offer conclusions.</p> <p><br /> </p> <ul> <li style="list-style: none"><br /> </li> <li>Identifies optimum conditions for harnessing the benefits of interprofessional education</li> <li style="list-style: none"><br /> </li> <li>Offers case studies about interprofessional education worldwide</li> <li style="list-style: none"><br /> </li> <li>Provides a glossary to demystify terminology by offering clear definitions</li> </ul> <br /> <p>Arguments, assumptions and evidence in this publication are presented to inform policy making, programme planning, teaching and research.</p>
