De Montfort University is one of the key partners in a regional strategy for interprofessional education, which has been developed and led by Leicester Medical School. The strategy enables pharmacy students to engage in relevant learning alongside a wide range of health and social care students.
The strategy states that students will complete three episodes of learning at the beginning, middle and end of their undergraduate studies. Students complete a reflective portfolio of their IPE. Pharmacy students are expected to write a reflective case assignment for each episode and these are assessed as part of the module in which these learning events take place. The reflective case assignment is supported by the main principles underlying the RSPGB Continuing Professional Development guidelines. The module leaders (in whose module these events occur) ensure students are recording and progressing this learning. [download id=”7959″]
