Abstract

This paper challenges the notion that interprofessional education is only about health and social care, and examines perspectives on diversity in relation to inclusivity and relevance in university education. It draws on evidence from the implementation of an interdisciplinary event titled "Strictly Come Dining" and a module titled "The Arts and Humanities in Health and Social Care Contexts" - both are within undergraduate curricula. Diversifying the disciplines and topics involved in interprofessional education brings holism to staff and student development, both personally and professionally. It develops graduate attributes for students and promotes employability.
