Associate Professor Shirley Morrissey, Deputy Head of the School of Psychology at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia, visited the UK in the summer of 2010 to find out more about the delivery of interprofessional education.

Professor Morrissey (pictured second left with members of the CIPP team) spent some time with the CIPP team looking at the way interprofessional education is delivered at UEA.  The CIPP team is regarded as the standard-bearer for best practice and has also hosted visiting academics from Norway and Japan.

Professor Morrissey commented, "I am very impressed with the way in which IPE has been progressed in the UK.  Your programme at the University of East Anglia is fascinating and I really appreciate being able to look at it more closely."

Professor Morrissey has extended an invitation to members of the CIPP team to visit Griffith University in the future, and the Centre is looking forward to forging closer links with Australia.
