Join us for an Engaging and Informative Webinar on Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in Interprofessional Education (IPE) for Undergraduate Healthcare Students!
In recent years, healthcare education across Europe has seen a growing focus on Public and Patient Involvement (PPI), with patients becoming active partners in the learning process for future healthcare professionals. This webinar will explore the transformative potential of integrating PPI into Interprofessional Education (IPE), where students from diverse healthcare disciplines collaborate alongside patients to foster a deeper, patient-centered approach to care. We will highlight innovative educational programs that have successfully incorporated PPI, demonstrating how these initiatives enhance learning outcomes and better prepare students to provide holistic, patient-focused care.
During this session, we will delve into the benefits and challenges of implementing PPI-based interprofessional education. While these programs have been shown to improve communication, promote teamwork, and enhance the patient experience, they also present unique logistical, cultural, and institutional challenges. We will provide actionable insights on how to overcome these hurdles and implement effective PPI strategies within educational frameworks.
In addition, participants will be introduced to leading global and European organizations at the forefront of PPI and IPE. You will gain practical guidance on the essential steps required to initiate or enhance similar programs at your own institution, empowering you to take a leadership role in promoting patient-centered education. Whether you are an educator, healthcare professional, or student, this webinar will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make a meaningful impact in healthcare education.
