Norwegian Universities look to CIPP and the UEA for a model of Interprofessional Learning
Academics from all over Norway have been visiting universities in Canada and the UK (of which UEA was one), to investigate different models of Interprofessional Learning (IPL) and decide which one to use as a foundation for their future IPL interventions. Two large universities in Norway have recently been merged and this is seen as a good opportunity to incorporate a suitable model of IPL into their students' curricula.
Some 1800 health and social care students from a range of different professions including pharmacy, nursing, midwifery, occupational therapy, social work and radiography will undergo the training.
Following their visits to Canada and the UK, our Norwegian colleagues are now considering using the UEA model as a foundation for their IPL interventions. Furthermore, they are looking to form a 'CIPP' team in Oslo who will be responsible for the development, delivery and evaluation of the IPL programme.
In September 2011, Dr Susanne Lindqvist, Centre Director, was invited to "Hogskolen i Oslo og Akershus" to present the CIPP model of IPL to an audience including politicians and senior staff from universities in Oslo, Bergen and other cities in Norway.
The presentation was extremely well received (see link: http://www.hioa.no/Om-HiOA/PUS/Tverrprofesjonalitet-i-fokus) and the CIPP team at UEA are looking forward to further interaction with colleagues in Norway in sharing knowledge and good practice.

The Centre for Interprofessional Practice is proud to be at the forefront of developing and delivering a first-class interprofessional learning model for health and social care students at the UEA and around the world.
