All parties will continue to work together to improve health education and develop interprofessional education as part of the workforce strategy.
A decision has been made between Te Whatu Ora, the University of Otago and Te Pūkenga that the Interprofessional Learning Centre (ILC) will not go ahead at this time.
The ILC was initially meant to be in the new Dunedin health precinct along with the New Dunedin Hospital. Health and tertiary education leaders in the Otago region have agreed to move the focus away from a specific building for interprofessional learning and will work together to grow the interdisciplinary training of the region’s healthcare professionals of the future.
