Programme Description
The Global Interprofessional Education (IPE) Programme is a collaborative initiative involving eight higher education institutions across Asia and the UK*. This programme is designed to enhance interprofessional collaboration in dementia care, preparing students from various healthcare disciplines to work effectively as a team in addressing the complexities of dementia management.
Through team-based learning, case discussions, and gamified instructional activities, students will explore best practices in dementia care, including interdisciplinary coordination, ethical considerations, and cultural perspectives on dementia. The programme utilises digital collaboration platforms to ensure interactive and engaging learning experiences.
