Cancer Care Pre-registration Interprofessional Education with Expert Patients: A Qualitative Study.

In interprofessional education (IPE) patients with cancer are sometimes recruited to support passive forms of learning but do not seem to have been recruited as expert patients (EPs). The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of patients who acted as EPs in an IPE learning activity in Aotearoa New Zealand. These EPs were completing or had completed receiving radiation therapy as outpatients.

Cultural safety and patient trust: the Hui Process to initiate the nurse-patient relationship.

The Fundamentals of Care framework is recognised for its essential elements to provide quality patient-centred care. Connection and trust as a basis for a caring relationship is a central tenet of this framework. Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand face barriers to health care that are historically and socially constituted.

Forming inter-institutional partnerships to offer pre-registration IPE: a focus group study.

Interprofessional education (IPE) programs for pre-registration health science students are largely offered within one institution including different schools or faculties. Sometimes in small or regional institutions where there are limited student numbers or few professional training programs, or where larger institutions do not offer particular professional programs, it may be necessary to partner with other institutions to offer IPE. This study sought to explore teacher perspectives of forming inter-institutional partnerships to deliver IPE, in particular, to identify the elements that influence the formation of partnerships.
