Name: Belinda Chiambiro
Institution: University of Zimbabwe
Course: Bachelor of Science (Honors) degree in Nursing Science
Motivation to join the program:
During our clinical attachments in the hospital, I noticed that students or different health professionals do not meet and collaborate on patient care and management so when I heard about the Interprofessional Education program I was eager to learn about it and its benefits so that I can also share the information with others in order to improve patient care.
Lessons learnt:
From the Interprofessional Education program I learnt that people produce more if they use teamwork approach compared to individual work. Quality work is also produced and time and resources are used efficiently through team work. In brief, Interprofessional Education and Collaboration is an idea that must be implemented in most Institutions and hospitals in order to provide quality patient care and to produce better results.
