Interprofessional Education for Medication Safety Symposium

29-30 November 2012, Newcastle, NSW 

The team recently held a symposium focusing on the contemporary issues of interprofessional education and medication safety. This was a great opportunity for the project team to share our findings with other Academics and Educators in this field, and to share in the interprofessional education and quality use of medicines research or teaching and learning experiences of others. This symposium showcased the teaching and learning and research activities occurring nationally in this important and growing field.

The following themes were chosen to reflect current research, practice, and teaching and learning innovations:

  • The impact of interprofessional education on patient safety
  • Integration of interprofessional education into curricula
  • Medication safety and interprofessional education
  • Teamwork and Interprofessional communication
