Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) is an instructional approach for equipping health professions students with essential competencies needed to provide collaborative patient-centred care. The implementation and sustainability of IPE are challenging for many institutions. This qualitative study identified barriers and facilitators in the processes of IPE implementation.
Methods: We conducted mixed focus groups (FGs) with faculty members from medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nutrition and dietetics, nursing, chiropractic, Chinese medicine, and other health sciences programmes; who were involved in the planning of IPE at institutional or programme level, or who participated in IPE activity. Transcripts were analysed using grounded theory.
Results: We identified 25 barriers and facilitators, clustered under five major categories of commitment, faculty engagement, IPE design, support, and delivery.
Conclusions: Successful implementation of IPE may hinge on actions in 5 stages; commitment, faculty engagement, IPE design, support, and delivery. The processes will require consistent leadership to break down professional silos and enhance collaborative effort in IPE implementation.

Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries has attracted worldwide attention to ensure sustainability of electric vehicle industry. Pretreatment as an essential step for recycling of spent LIBs is critical to ensure the recovery efficiency and quality of black mass which is used for further materials regeneration. Usually, high temperature pyrolysis, at around 600 °C is required during the pretreatment to achieve effective separation of the black mass that is binding on aluminium foils with polyvinylidene fluoride binder.

IPE occurs when two or more professions learn from, about and with each other regarding effective collaboration and the improvement of health outcomes. Current academic programs focus more on traditional approaches to training physicians, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists and nurses like they were independent entities.
