Students plan and deliver interventions in an interprofessional environment, under the supervision of an appropriately registered health professional. As part of the IP programme, students facilitate a one-hour interactive self-management education group each week. Each student is assigned one patient, and all patient appointments are attended by student pairs from different disciplines. Client-focused conferences, led by health students, are held each week. Students reassess patients at the end of the program and compile a comprehensive report sent to their GP. |
