  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Innovative Staff Development in Healthcare

Abstract

This article reflects the relevance of interprofessional collaboration for staff development in healthcare. There is still potential for the development of interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare system. The dominating segmentation of care leads to care deficits as well as it increases the skilled labor shortage in healthcare. This project describes an interprofessional education department in Freiburg, Germany, where the medical students and nursing students work together. This successful pediatric education department offers us an amount of perspectives to develop and experiences to share.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Shadowing, or “hands-off” professional guidance, is understood to mean observing the actions and interactions of participants on an ITW, without any active intervention on the part of the tutors. This means HCPNTs and PYMSs should be given the opportunity to be the primary point of contact for patients and their parents, directly taking on medical and nursing care independently.

  2. 2.

    Sottas, B., et al.: Handbook for Tutors on Interprofessional Training Wards. Stuttgart 2020: Robert Bosch Stiftung. The handbook summarizes practical experience gained from the implementation of interprofessional training wards and corresponding training concepts across various locations in Germany and is a sound methodological tool for tutors on interprofessional training wards.
