Background: An ageing population and health-care advances mean that patients have increasingly complex medical health and social needs, requiring a multidisciplinary team. However, despite working as an interprofessional team, team members still largely train in professional silos. Furthermore health-care professionals report a poor understanding of the skills of colleagues from different professions. This article describes the set up and outcomes of a novel interprofessional bedside teaching programme.
Methods: An in-centre interprofessional teacher training course was established to facilitate interprofessional bedside teaching, along with supported ward-based sessions to apply the skills.
Results: Three in-centre courses and five workplace sessions have run, with forty-five and twenty-eight interprofessional participants respectively. Statistically significant improvements in confidence facilitating interprofessional teaching were seen, with participants more likely to teach at the bedside and involve the multidisciplinary team.
Conclusions: This article shows evidence of a teaching programme which improves the confidence of the multidisciplinary team in facilitating interprofessional bedside teaching.

Background: Early mobility is one strategy to reduce the harm from immobility that children experience in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Early-mobility programmes rely on nurses, who currently perceive insufficient training as a barrier to mobilizing critically ill children. Nurses have identified simulation as a strategy to improve implementation of early-mobility protocols.

Background And Objectives: Daily rounds provide an opportunity for interprofessional collaboration and patient/family engagement, which are critical to stroke care. As part of a quality improvement program, we conducted a baseline assessment to examine interprofessional collaboration and patient/family engagement during the current rounding process in a 12-bed comprehensive stroke center. Findings from the baseline assessment will be used to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of a new rounding model.

Background: Although the benefits of improved transitions of care regarding medications are widely known, implementation is variable among inpatient settings and populations and requires an interprofessional effort. This article reviews the body of published research on challenges with medication history taking and reconciliation for inpatients requiring treatment of traumatic injuries or surgical intervention.
Review Of Evidence: A comprehensive search of PubMed and MEDLINE databases from inception to February 2021, the reference lists of qualifying articles, and PubMed's "similar article" suggestions were used to identify publications based on the following key terms: patient transfer, transitional care, medication reconciliation, general surgery, and surgical procedures.
