Interprofessional education aims to improve the quality of patient care through improving working relationships between health and social care practitioners who can promote collective responses to patient and service user’s needs. It has been suggested that different forms of interactions need different words and clear conceptualisations. For example, consider, ‘multidisciplinary,’ ‘interdisciplinary,’ ‘crossdisciplinary’, ‘teamwork’, ‘partnership’, ‘collaborative relationships’, ‘coordination’, ‘integration’, ‘interprofessionality’, ‘interprofessional practice’, all terms which differentiate and overlap. These terms are used in many health and social care contexts and are often used to express the coming together of a wider range of health and social care practitioners. Interdisiplinary collaboration can be defined as an interactional process or an interpersonal process which represents a complex relationship between multiple disciplines where individuals work together and exchange information, in a setting where resources are shared and people are brought together to accomplish goals. The most universally noted preparation for health and social care professionals to work together in interprofessional collaboration, is interprofessional education. This is because it follows that if professionals in health and social care must work together, they need to understand about each other and how to conduct their practice collectively
