This experiential interprofessional learning workshop provides participants with an opportunity
to discuss and co-create solutions to healthcare challenges in their own context settings. This is
achieved through a design thinking cognitive process using case-based learning to trigger discussions
in small groups. The case scenario will depict a challenge or ‘wow’ moment experienced by patients
in a typical primary care healthcare facility. This is used to trigger participants to reflect and cocreate solutions, including the application of interprofessional competencies, to manage healthcare
challenges for their own patients. The focus would be on patients who require care provided by
multiple healthcare professionals at different transition points in their patient healthcare journey.
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is an important component of ‘patient-centred and healthcare
professional friendly’ delivery of healthcare. Different healthcare providers often have their own
professional objectives and desired outcome which may delay shared decision making in patient
management. This may impact on a patient’s final health outcome.
Our team has developed a novel approach to provide an opportunity for primary care providers to
identify different or similar challenges/issues in delivering patient within their diverse practice context.
We were able to trial this approach among family physicians, nurses and allied health providers in both
wound care and child health services.
The participants then co-create solutions applying agile workplace-based learning strategies. The
focus of this workshop is on deepening the application of interprofessional tenets such as cultural
sensitivity, role clarity, communication, team dynamics and conflict resolution. The small group
activity leads to more focused co-creative solutions, through the application of metacognitive and
interprofessional competencies.
At the end of the session, the participants would be expected to apply interprofessional competencies
within a theoretical design thinking model (assess, plan, implement and evaluate) to co-create
contextual workplace-based solutions to complex patient journeys involving transitions of care.
