Description

The Organisation:

Inter-professional Learning (IPL) was initially developed in 2011 primarily in Stage 4 of the MPharm, working across the region with other professions.

In 2019 the number of programmes in the faculty involved in IPL has increased to include pharmacy, psychology, pre-registration nursing and mental health nursing, paramedic science, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and medicine.

Inter-professional Learning is a cross faculty initiative and needs to be fully evidenced and resourced to ensure PSRB alignment.

IPL is essential in terms of helping to support the students to develop an understanding of working with other professionals as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

As well as being good practice, it is a pre-requisite for accreditation/funding from professional, regulatory and statutory bodies (PRSB) across our taught programmes.

Based in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing the post holder will administer support for the IPL provision as well as refreshing systems and processes across IPL in the Faculty.

This role will be an outward facing role liaising with existing and new academics and healthcare professionals both internally and with external departments and bodies.

It will also create a central point of contact for student queries relating to IPL.

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

Be the primary point of contact for all IPL enquiries, including producing and sending out timetabling information to students and third parties, arranging room bookings, liaising with hospital base sites and other universities, and organising travel requirements.
Assist in the administration and management of the interprofessional learning across the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing by arranging all necessary requirements in collaboration with the academic lead for the scheme and programme/module teams
Circulate dates of sessions and collate responses prior to allocation (with guidance from the IPL lead), provide confirmations to academics and students regarding sessions and maintain a database of sessions
Liaise with relevant University departments to facilitate the continued support of students and academic staff. This will include assisting with Health and Safety and risk assessment paperwork for all IPL events
Update and make available the IPL handbooks, as required
Keep an overview of IPL requirements across the Faculty, ensure best ways of working and suggest amendments or new ways of working
Act as Officer to the IPL reference group to produce minutes suitable for PSRB accreditation
Work closely with the IPL academic lead and relevant Programme Leaders and module leaders to facilitate IPL involvement in all areas of the taught programmes. Liaise with team leaders to ensure effective timetabling with a view that looks across the Faculty and not just on specific programmes/teams
Work with IPL participants to gather feedback about their involvement and use this as feedforward for future activities. Ensure collection and uploading of multisource feedback for student portfolios.

Any other duties as required to ensure the IPL provision continues to grow and be delivered in accordance with Faculty requirements to enhance student learning and experience.
