NET 2018 Conference: Becoming a caring and compassionate practitioner: Co-producing an e-learning hub through Interprofessional Education (IPE)

Innovation paper

As a result of damming reports illustrating a lack of care and compassion in the healthcare workforce HE providers of health and social care curricula are challenged to measure educational outcomes not just through skills that emphasise mastery of taught knowledge but an ability to be caring and compassionate. These more tacit and personal skills require a student-centred approach to education necessitating both participation and engagement from the student body. This paper showcases an e-learning hub about 'becoming a caring and compassionate practitioner' developed for and with Allied Health Professional students in the School of Healthcare Sciences Cardiff University.
