To determine the impact of an interprofessional simulation using the SBAR (situation-background-assessment-recommendation/request) communication tool on pharmacy students' self-perception of interprofessional competence and reactions towards interprofessional collaboration. Ninety-six pharmacy students participated in an interprofessional simulation within a required applications-based capstone course. Pharmacy students collaborated with nursing students on multiple patient cases in various settings using the SBAR communication tool over the telephone. Pharmacy students' responses to all 20 items on the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS) completed after participating in the simulation indicated significant positive changes. The themes identified in students' reflection papers indicated the simulation was beneficial and student responses on satisfaction surveys were positive with a mean score of 4.2 on a 5-point Likert scale. Implementation of an interprofessional simulation using the SBAR communication tool improved pharmacy students' self-perception of interprofessional competence and attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is an asset in health professionals supporting resilience, job satisfaction, interprofessional collaboration, and improved health outcomes for patients. Emerging research in health professions education shows that self-reflection and peer feedback, simulation, and experiential learning may contribute to the development of EI. The evidence indicates that training should be incorporated longitudinally throughout the educational process with increasing complexity and challenge.

Background: Learning health systems (LHS) have the potential to use health data in real time through rapid and continuous cycles of data interrogation, implementing insights to practice, feedback, and practice change. However, there is a lack of an appropriately skilled interprofessional informatics workforce that can leverage knowledge to design innovative solutions. Therefore, there is a need to develop tailored professional development training in digital health, to foster skilled interprofessional learning communities in the health care workforce in Australia.

Aim: To explore different types of interprofessional education (IPE) teaching strategies used in pre-licensure interprofessional learning programmes and the effective components of these strategies in promoting student learning, IPE skills, behavioural change, organisational practice, or patient health outcomes.

Background: IPE is rapidly becoming a core element of health professions preparation programmes worldwide, but the differential effects of different ways of delivering IPE are not well documented.

Design: Systematic narrative review.
