Hugh Barr & Ivan Koppel 
Effective Interprofessional Education 
Argument, Assumption and Evidence (Promoting Partnership for Health)

This volume presents a systematic review of interprofessional
education in health and social care. This is accompanied by a
wider-ranging critique of interprofessional education, grounded by
experience, and informed by sources beyond the evaluations that
qualified for inclusion in the review. Synthesising the evidence
base for interprofessional education nevertheless remains central,
with 353 studies surveyed in the first instance, from which 107
studies form the basis for the final analysis.

The book does much more than amass evidence. It revisits
conventional wisdom; setting an agenda to help interested parties
perform better by applying lessons learned, remedying weaknesses
and renewing efforts to address unanswered questions. The first
three chapters set the scene for the systematic review and its
findings. The middle section of the book articulates the findings
of the review. Finally, the closing chapters consider values and
attitudes, theoretical perspectives and offer conclusions.

Arguments, assumptions and evidence in this publication are
presented to inform policy making, programme planning, teaching and
research.
