Recent changes in medical education as well as in the organization and delivery of health care in the UK have emphasized the need for doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to learn to work together as teams in order to provide the best possible care for patients. The importance of interprofessional education (IPE) and teamwork is, therefore, being increasingly recognized and given priority in medical education.
