Epe LabourentaUL, neu na i hon yn rhallwg datganiad, is not possible without our partners. First of all, the wonderful people that we have sitting here, Betty Higgs, Caroline O'Connor, Eileen O'Leary, from really teaching and learning from pharmacy, from nursing, and after the last comments better be very quiet that I'm actually a medic, but I'm a very humble medic. I've been beaten up for two hours on the train on the way here, so yes I think we should get the hierarchical thing back to the 1950s in Cork as well. But thank you also to all our collaborators, Peter Cantland and Josephine Bolland, who is involved with Dibna in NUI Galway, Andrew O'Rhegan down in the University of Limerick at the Medical School there, Jaredina Harnett, from IT Tralee. It was hell visiting all these places, you can imagine, I'd much rather be on the M1. And then we have Walter Cullen at University College Dublin and Marie Healy from Trinity College Dublin, so pharmacy, medicine, nursing, medicine, medical education, and our two external advisers have been already enormously helpful. One is Mahendra Patel from the Royal Pharmacutical Society in the UK who has been involved in a pharmacy school in the UK and has gone through the cycle of starting one, working out the competencies, working out the programme and seeing his first cohort go through and he's already been over to visit and to advise us on the project. And then Anne-Pete, who's the Pro Vice-Chancellor of Teaching and Learning at the University in Sheffield, and Anne has promised to come over when we have a teaching and learning conference in Cork, possibly in the spring. So what do they do? We have regular teleconferences. A lot of this is the building of the network that the first six months has very much been the preparatory work, building the infrastructure. And it does feel as though we've built a very strong network already. So UCL, because of the wide distribution of their students, they already use video conferencing as a teaching and learning tool. And it's a site that is going to be used for interprofessional learning with the nurses in Tralee, NUI Galway, Josephine Bolland, as well as working with Divna, has developed software useful for competency mapping. They've got a learning technologist who's working with us about digital resource development. UCD is going to be a pilot site again between Medicine and Pharmacy at TCD and UCD have got expertise in video conferencing as well. TCD have linked with UCC and Pharmacy. They're developing a new degree in Mfarm instead of the Bfarm. So it's really how to deliver the competencies which have been given to them by a national body. And so TCD and UCC are using their salary recharge essentially to fund a master student to work on this. ITT have got strength in evaluation of reflective portfolios and is going to be a pilot site for evaluation of those e-portfolios. We'll come to that in a minute. UCC, we're going to develop the clinical scenarios and we're going to evaluate the e-portfolio in our own institution. So what is the overview? What have we done so far? What's been the methodology? It's been very much a pragmatic action sort of project. We set up the executive, we formed the group, we set up the partner network and it's now functioning very well. And as Dibna has explained, it's very important to get institutional and individual buy-in before you can really devise or deliver anything. We are identifying the shared competencies between pharmacy, nursing and medicine. These are open national documents but they've never been benchmarked or cross-matched before. And so before we can develop any interprofessional learning between pharmacy and nursing and medicine, we really need to know what are the shared competencies so we can essentially show value to all of those students. We have a project assistant working at the moment with me and our team in looking at the shared competencies. We are piloting an e-portfolio. We've had help from learning technology. We'll talk about those e-portfolios again in a minute. We've got an administrator. We've got student involvement. We are developing a web presence which of course I was hoping it would be available before today. It's going to be the end of July and then we're working on digital resources. This just shows that for each of those there are lots and lots of different things. This is a screenshot of the work plan which we've done since January, February and so it goes on. So for e-portfolios there must have been 15 tasks. For competency frameworks there must have been 12 or 14 tasks and so on. So we've got to showcase what we've done. Shared competencies, the evaluation of the e-portfolio, student panel and what has happened or not happened so far with interprofessional learning. So in terms of shared competencies we've addressed the priorities of pharmacy, nursing and medicine. These are the cognate bodies and so we've looked at the shared domains. We've had to divide them into themes so as a professional, as a practitioner and as a scholar and scientist and we've also asked our partners to provide all policies and protocols in respect of agreements, memoranda of understanding or agreements between the health service and the institutions. In other words we don't just, or at least we hope, we don't just send students out to be entertained for two or three weeks. We hope that there are some learning objectives. We hope that the tutors can help the student deliver on those. There are very few of these. So the shared competencies as a professional, these sub-themes here so we're working on that and we're hoping to be able to publish that, the first shared competency document in Ireland. We're hoping to publish that by the end of the year and the end of this year and these are the documents that are under review. Now if I can ask Caroline to talk about e-portfolio because she's the one that knows about this. Thanks Henry. I'll take that one. Thank you. In relation to the e-portfolios I suppose really this is the platform where we're going to put these competencies, where we're going to put the digital resources and where we're going to put the reflective portfolio. All of this is going to sit in this particular e-portfolio. We have been looking at when reviewing the literature from Australia, from Canada, from UK and we've seen exactly what portfolios are all about in the sense of the traditional paper one was more about collecting, selecting, reflecting, projecting and that whereas adding technology to it we found that it gives a bit more, it gives more depth. We've got more, there's archiving there, there's a possibility, there's a very high probability and a very high possibility for students to link their theory and their practice because we're looking at more of a practice item here and they're also, their thinking actually increases their depth of thinking, their critical thinking, that increases also. There's an ideal opportunity for collaborating and I suppose linking in with different, I'm linking with other people here, the collaboration aspect of it for the IPL, IPE whichever way you want to choose it and that's really where we want to bring in the collaboration here between the pharmacy nursing and medicine and try and work that one through. The storytelling it actually forms a book for themselves really and a digital book so that it will help them from the transition from being a student documenting what they have learned and what they have done all the time and when they take it across into their professional practice. So the transition from student into professional practice is very important with this and for us as well. Also we have an opportunity here to formatively assess and summatively assess that is whether we're assessing all of practice but generally for practice we want understanding here to be evaluated more than anything else and also as well how we got about looking at the particular learning technology aspect of it or the technological aspect of it, we've also worked very closely in UCC with the learning technology unit and they have also come on board and helped us with this and this has been part of the building foundation that we've got UCC as an entire institution have now come on board with us and are very much behind us for this particular project and that's what we've been spending our time doing is trying to get the foundations for this particular project going because having gone through the literature which we've gone through quite a bit of it in relation to the implementation of portfolios it is so so important that we actually have institutional buy-in so to speak so that we can actually carry this forward and that it will be sustainable and it will continue into the future and that's what we have to look at because we we're getting the funding from the national forum but there's no point in getting the funding I'm putting it into a big project if it's going to flop at the end we need it so that it's going to continue and be sustainable and I suppose from a nursing perspective we have also been in contact as well with our national body the nursing midwraffy and board of Ireland and in contact with this chief nursing officer there and as we are bringing a new curriculum in very very shortly it's due to be published either July August direction and we will have another curriculum coming in but as we have that the chief nursing officer is very much in favour and kind of sees this as the way forward is an electronic portfolio so this is reading through some of the literature nursing are not at the forefront of this they haven't been for a number of years but they're catching up and they're getting there and this is from Australian literature as well as UK and Canadian literature so we're looking at it from that perspective so going back again I didn't finish off about the learning technologist that we have in UCC this lady has helped us with this in the sense that she has actually looked at e-portfolios compared contrasted evaluated their technological input and impact and we have looked then at the criteria we wanted ourselves with the archiving and the linking and the storytelling and all of that and we've come up with the one that we want to use at the moment is pebble pad is what we're looking at at the moment that seems to be the one that has fitted into the the criteria that we're looking towards so that involves licensing and all of that so Henry is going to talk more to that in a moment in relation to that so three minutes no problem so in relation we've got competency mapping for staff and scientists and this I'm supposed to really comes from the pharmacy perspective of things with the competency mapping but again as I said before we're going to have the competencies the e-portfolio and the digital resources as well all of these are going to be embedded in this particular e-portfolio and I'm going to hand over to Henry and let him complete the presentation for you thank you this just shows that we're working with UL ITT with some ideas and agreement we're going to evaluate the portfolio not just looking at usage but looking at tutor views and student views as well so student involvement yes we did we had a group and exactly as Divina found do they want sorry a group of four pharmacy four nursing four medical students and in fact the medical students felt bullied by the senior nurses the nurses felt that they couldn't talk to the doctors and the pharmacist didn't know what either of them did so there is a kind of a gap in communication and understanding between professions you can read there essentially it isn't very good news yes they'd love it do they get it no they don't quality of placements huge variety didn't really want to criticize in case it helped their assessment third med do you have any learning logs no we don't I went to curriculum committee the next day yes they do well they haven't seen them they don't use them interprofessional learning yes we'd like it but it doesn't happen and so we're hoping to develop various partnership connections with that so what are the three things we've built a national network network to identify gaps and present solutions and we're hoping to publish the first shared competency document very shortly well in six months a template for development of institutional memorandum of understanding and recommendations for use of e-portfolios and how to best get the use out of them we're hoping to develop sustainable models of IPL and of course we're already in communication with nui golwe and developing digital resources we've got an instructional designer who is helping us with this to be a little bit wizzy a little bit more modern and of course our student panel are helping along the way dissemination yes professional bodies yes ha we're going to publish and we're going to signpost and thank you
