Review “This book provides a true international perspective on interprofessional education and practice (IPEP). It makes a timely and important contribution to the field. As an academic and registered Social Worker with a belief in IPEP I feel this book will support students, academics and practitioners to develop a depth of understanding of IPEP as well as the challenges and progressive ways of working.”― Dr Mohammed Jakhara. Executive Dean of Faculty – Newman University Birmingham. Prof Doc Health and Social Care, MBA, FHEA, PQSW, CQSW, BA (Hons) Applied Social Studies, HCPC Registered. “As an educator of students and practitioners and as an interprofessional placement coordinator, this book contributes another valuable resource encompassing rural and global perspectives and the strategies necessary to grow interprofessional practice in fieldwork. These authors are IP pioneers with a significant body of published work as evidence of their expertise, but also their professional and clinical experience means they are able to translate theory to practice with authenticity using ‘real world’ illustrations. I will be recommending this text as the next iteration in their series to students and practitioners alike.”― Keryn Bolte RN/RM, PG Cert Critical Care, Master of Clinical Education, Student Placement Manager, Going Rural Health Program, Department of Rural Health, Faculty of Medicine, Dental & Health Sciences, The University of Melbourne “This book is a concise guide to effective leadership in interprofessional education.
