Interprofessional Collaboration
No single profession can meet all of a patient's needs. Interprofessional collaboration brings nurses, doctors, pharmacists, therapists and others together as one team, sharing information and decisions to give safer, better-coordinated care.
At Nursing Science 2027, this research is presented mainly in the nursing and healthcare session. Nurses and colleagues from other professions share models of teamwork that improve patient outcomes.

Recent Advances in Interprofessional Collaboration
Interprofessional education is now built into many nursing and medical programmes, so students learn to work as a team before they qualify, a growing theme in nursing education and research. Rapid response teams show how fast, shared action saves lives in acute care, critical care and emergency nursing.
Multidisciplinary teamwork is also at the heart of rehabilitation nursing and hospice and palliative nursing, where many professionals support each patient and family.
