Abstract

Delivering sustainable health care in countries with disparate communities can be challenging and frustrating. However this project, using game playing, enabled academics in the UK and Japan to collaborate with each other, so that graduates of the future will develop global perspectives in interprofessional health and social care. The project aimed to internationalise the interprofessional curriculum for health and social care graduates, in order to deliver effective and safe health care for the future. Phase 1 of the project involved the use of the Interprofessional Education game (iPEG), developed through collaboration between colleagues from the two Aberdeen universities.
