Interprofessional learning in practice for pre-registration health care: interprofessional learning occurs in practice--is it articulated or celebrated?

This paper summarises the issues involved in promoting interprofessional learning in practice both on campus and within placement areas with reference to one particular university. National drivers of Interprofessional Learning (IPL) are outlined and then explored in relation to the portfolio of pre qualifying programmes within a large, multiprofessional School of Health and Social Care. In this particular context, rapid development of campus based IPL require equally robust developments in practise based learning.
