Healthcare students' experiences when integrating e-learning and flipped classroom instructional approaches.

This article describes the experiences of undergraduate healthcare students taking a module adopting a 'flipped classroom' approach. Evidence suggests that flipped classroom as a pedagogical tool has the potential to enhance student learning and to improve healthcare practice. This innovative approach was implemented within a healthcare curriculum and in a module looking at public health delivered at the beginning of year two of a 3-year programme.

The experiences of students in interprofessional learning.

This article explores the experiences of undergraduate healthcare students within interprofessional education (IPE) using a qualitative research study. The motive to undertake this study was as a result of mixed evaluations of IPE sessions. The study aimed to analyse student experiences of IPE, and as a result provide greater insight into how this type of education could be enhanced.

Using an integrated teaching and learning approach to deliver inter-professional practice in Public Health.

In order to address health inequalities an interprofessional approach is required. To recreate this experience for pre-registration healthcare students an innovative model utilising integrated approaches to teaching and learning was developed. This incorporated interprofessional education, threshold concepts, virtual learning and narrative pedagogy.
