Abstract

Interprofessional learning (IPL) is firmly embedded in pre-registration health education curricula (WHO, 2010; Frenk, 2010; Barr & Low, 2012). Evidence, however, indicates that students are disengaged with IPL (Forte & Fowler, 2009). An employability-related Future Healthcare Practitioner Plus Programme (FHPPP) award was designed to reward engagement and performance within IPL. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the FHPPP award on student engagement and identify the perceived benefits of the award from student and employer perspectives. Qualitative data was collected from both students and employers using surveys and focus groups and thematic analysis was performed (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Findings indicated that IPL is broadly viewed as beneficial and ‘essential’ within healthcare education programmes by both students and employers, with recommendations made to help improve relevance. Overall, awareness of the award was poor and more work is needed to improve perceived benefits of IPL and to increase student and employer awareness.
