workforce. The majority of jobs involve cooperation amongst co-workers to be successful (). Health professionals use interprofessional collaboration(IPC) on a daily basis. The Canadian Nurse Association (CNA) defines IPC as working with other health professionals to come up with ethical situations to provide care for patients. As discussed in A team process to support interprofessional care discusses, IPC is most commonly used in primary care settings such as rehabilitation centers, clinics and hospitals
The Advantages of IPC to the Patient No matter how hard we may try, the importance of interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare system cannot be stressed enough. Of course, interprofessional care has a wide range of advantages in the smooth operating of a team. What is also to be taken into account, however, is the unbounded benefits from the patient’s perspective. As we all know – unfortunately many from our own experiences – the road to recovery requires not only the carefully calibrated
Accordingly, this theme had two sub-themes: “prescribed meetings” referred to well-planned formal networks and communications and “regular conversations” referred to informal networks and communication. Formal networks and communication Since all professionals were concurrently stationed in the same school, they expressed awareness on the role of communication in reflection processes of providing equity education to all children. The practice of attending staff and departmental meetings to reflect
Interprofessional communication is when provides/students communicate with each other, with people, and their families to have open, collaborative reasonable manners for the health issuers or concerns. During this experience, I was able to observe many different opportunities that interprofessional communication took place. Some interpersonal communication that took place between the nurse and the patients to provide great care
The importance of good communication in patient care and safety cannot be overstated. Miscommunication and communication breakdowns not only present challenges to medical personnel but also pose significant risks to patient safety and wellbeing. Indeed, The Joint Commission (TJC) has attributed some 65% of sentinel events to breakdowns in communication, (Cornell, Townsend-Gervis, Vardaman, & Yates, 2014, p. 1). This statistic is particularly troubling when one reflects on the fact that such devastating

Introduction The purpose of this report is to reflect on my experiences of working in a team both clinically and academically. By reflection, I aim to learn new skills from these experiences and apply them in future team working scenarios. Throughout this reflective report I intend to use the Gibbs reflection model (Appendix 2) to give structure to it. I will be using my Emotional Intelligence (EI) score as a tool to understand why I felt and behaved in my clinical and academic team scenarios (Appendix
Conflict can arise from a variety of means, within someone, between two people, or a group of people (Disch, 2017). However, if conflict is unresolved, it can breakdown communication, decrease team performance, create a toxic work environment, and ultimately decrease patient’s quality of care (Disch, 2017; Johansen, 2012). A common, yet ineffective resolution to conflict in healthcare is avoidance. This is most commonly seen

In this essay I will present and analyse my personal development and achievements along with the challenges I was faced with, in the four domains of clinical care, that were the result of applying the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired in the last two years of this course into clinical practice. Additionally, I will be providing an example for each of the four domains in the appendix section, in order to better demonstrate these points. Finally, I will conclude this essay with a
