ANZAHPE has an agreement with the Australasian Interprofessional Practice and Education Network (AIPPEN) that supports a close relationship between ANZAHPE and AIPPEN.

AIPPEN has provided a virtual meeting place for researchers, scholars and clinicians interested in interprofessional education and collaborative practice for over 10 years.

ANZAHPE has long supported interprofessional education and collaborative team based practice. The relationship between ANZAHPE and AIPPEN provides direct access to a network, and opportunities to access local, Trans-Tasman and international interprofessional education and research developments that aims to benefit members across both groups.

Aligned with the global focus on interprofesssional education (IPE) in health professional education, IPE is a key element of ANZAHPE’s strategic plan.
