Developing Pharmacy Leaders — Interprofessional Education at Work

Avril Lee, Dale Sheehan and Pat Alley

Chapter 13 in Leadership and Collaboration, 2015, pp 199-212 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter outlines a project in a hospital environment where one profession (pharmacy) took a leadership role in interprofessional education experience. This enhanced understanding between the professions of medicine and pharmacy had a positive effect on medication and safety. This chapter describes the theoretical and practical approach taken to implement this initiative, the program as it evolved, and the outcomes for the professions and the service provider. At the end of the project we reflected that what had emerged from the project was an active, engaged interprofessional community of practice that included two strong and diverse professional groups who have a major influence on medication safety.
