2026 AIPPEN IPE Session 3: Speaking Up In Healthcare – designing an interprofessional speaking up capability framework
Presenter: Philippa Friary
Communicating innovative ideas, suggesting changes to practice, identifying mistakes we have made, and even highlighting errors others have made, are all complex interprofessional communication acts. How prepared are the healthcare students you work with to communicate these messages? What more could be done to collaboratively create a healthy speaking up culture?
Philippa welcomes you to learn about key findings from her doctoral study on speaking up among allied health new graduates and to share speaking up activities you are engaged in. You are invited to join other AIPPEN and ANZAHPE members in co-creating a healthy speaking up curriculum.
