Interprofessional Learning Resources

These resources provide support for interprofessional learning through a case scenario format. The case scenario has been adapted from the original resource developed jointly by PCC4U and Health Fusion Team Challenge (HFTC).

Participation in this interprofessional learning activity will support the development of capabilities in palliative care as well as interprofessional learning.

Educator-specific resources to support the use of this case scenario are available in a separate module on the LMS. If you would like access to this, please contact pcc4u@qut.edu.au
