Interprofessional education and practice guide: profiling readiness for practice-based IPE.

Practice-based interprofessional education (IPE) is both a valuable and complex model of practice education. To support educators design, deliver, and implement high-quality practice-based IPE, this guideline was developed in conjunction with a placement profile. Underpinned by educational theory, this guideline and placement profile identifies key factors to consider before, during, and after practice-based IPE. Development of the profile has involved interprofessional collaboration as well as international feedback via conference workshops. The profile has been trialed in two clinical sites involved in practice-based IPE and refined following consultation with and feedback from educators. Educators can also use the profile to track site development over time and evidence resource and support requirements. Through use additional features may become relevant and users are encouraged to add or amend as is most beneficial to their site.
