Future agenda for Interprofessional Learning : individual and health system sustainability : lessons learnt from Inspiring Health™

![CDATA[Introduction/background: Graduate attributes (GA) underpin employability, and include attainment of the transferable interprofessional skills of collaborative practice, professional behaviour, and effective communication. Work Integrated Learning (WIL)-placements that build these attributes during authentic, experiential learning are increasingly challenging to source. Aim/objectives: To describe the outcomes for students from eight health disciplines arising from participation in Inspiring Health™, a new interprofessional community-based health screening WIL-placement. Consider the alignment of the students’ learning and practice to GA and Interprofessional Learning Competencies (IPLC) in the context of the sustainability of the individual health professional and the health system. Discussion: Forty-nine students submitted written reflections about their development based on the eight IPLCs. Four reviewers independently conducted a thematic analysis of the participants’ reflections. Themes were identified through consensus. The majority of students’ comments described learning processes related to doing, talking and watching, which resulted in attitudinal and behavioural outcomes directly aligned to GA and IPLC. Students also directly linked these outcomes to their sustainability as clinicians and productive contributors in the health system. Utilisation of a range of interprofessional learning methods and tools during the Inspiring Health™ program resulted in new community health based activities which support attainment of GA and IPLC, and ultimately, sustainable health practice. Issues/questions for exploration or ideas for discussion: The role of the triple helix of business, community and universities to deliver interprofessional experiences for work ready graduates able to deliver better health outcomes.]]
