Values-based Interprofessional Education and Practice Network

The aim of the Network is to explore and develop the two-way relationship between IPE (Interprofessional Education and Practice) and VBP (Values-based Practice). IPE enables two or more professions to learn with, from and about each other to improve collaborative practice and quality of care (CAIPE, 2002).

Have we lost the plot with the implementation of Montgomery?

The webinar will present a real story of a person who is faced with cardiac surgery, a cardiac ablation and asked to make a decision as to which route  treatment they wish to pursue. The conversation was cold, scientific and delivered in a compassionless manner. The person was left feeling that no investment in his decision was made by the Dr and that the entire decision was his alone.

We will discuss this issue and start the process of building a framework for in action share decision making – one for a moment of acute care and one for a `safety huddle` approach.
