Health Education North West’s Interprofessional Learning e-book provides a range of good practice examples of initiatives across the region over the past five years. Many of these initiatives have achieved regional, national and international recognition via awards, publications and presentations at conferences. The back pages provide evidence of this. The commitment to IPL across the north west is evident, and the successes described are a result of excellent education partnerships and strong placement infrastructure networks. As new service models emerge, the focus will be on the transformation of learning environments, and an ever increasing need to ensure that the future workforce is able to adapt to changing environments and work flexibly in multiprofessional teams.
