Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice

Teesside University's new Medical School is being developed within one of the most diverse health and care education communities in the UK. This breadth of expertise creates a rich and authentic environment where you can learn alongside the professionals you'll work with throughout your career.

By learning with, from and about one another, medical students develop the collaborative skills, professional understanding and person-centred approach needed to deliver safe, effective and integrated care.

Teesside University is a key partner in the development of the Northern Interprofessional Education (IPE) Strategy and is supported by staff with recognised national and international expertise in interprofessional education and collaborative practice. This enables the Medical School to embed interprofessional learning throughout the student journey, ensuring graduates are equipped to work effectively within interprofessional teams to improve health and care outcomes.

This course (subject to General Medical Council approval) is recruiting for September 2027 and currently open to self-funded applicants only.
