2. THE CO-CHAIR REPORT (on behalf of the Trustees)
Professor Elizabeth Anderson and Dr Angela Lennox, Co-Chair, CAIPE.
Progressing the CAIPE strategy has formed the focus of this year’s activities, and this began with a successful CAIPE board away day in January 2023. The strategy has seen a realignment of board members into strategy priority groups which align with their skills set and interests, with a consideration for how CAIPE can meaningfully access the voice of students and patients as we shape our direction of travel. In addition, we have looked afresh at our website, agreeing to make our research papers and guidance documents accessible to all while retaining a CAIPE member’s area. The marketing team is reflecting on how to design interactive webpage on the benefits of CAIPE membership.
New and old relationships continue to grow as we seek support to realise the aims of the strategy. Following alignment with the Point of Care Foundation and guest speaker Laura Golding at our 2022 AGM, CAIPE has worked in the Midlands region to oversee the launch of thirteen Universities who are working together to deliver interprofessional Schwartz rounds to pre-registration students. Similarly, last year’s keynote address by Professor Jeremy Howick was followed by the launch of The Centre for Empathetic Healthcare, University of Leicester, in April 2023; CAIPE now has strong alliances to work with both centres. The Royal Society of Medicine continues to work with CAIPE in the delivery of the John Horder award.
External alliances continue with NHS England, and we are working more closely to help NHSE to deliver national workshops to support the development of interprofessional learning at both pre-and-post registration for all those who work in the field of obstetrics and neonatology.
Internationally, CAIPE continues to strengthen its work with interprofessional. Global and InterprofessionalResearch.Global. Seeking to propel policy on interprofessional education for better interprofessional working remains a global imperative. Members of CAIPE support these international alliances travelling and speaking in different countries and reaching out using on-line technologies.
Finally, while CAIPE reviews our award system for students and professionals who progress the field of interprofessional education and practice, this year we were delighted to learn that CAIPE received the United States Nexus Centre 2023 Pioneer Award. This was given with special recognition for the ground-breaking contributions made by Professor Hugh Barr, President of CAIPE. Professor Barr has been a leader in the field of Interprofessional Education over many decades - few have made a greater contribution to the field of interprofessional education.
We wish to thank the CAIPE Leadership Team for their ongoing expertise and support, including the overarching leadership of our President Professor Hugh Barr.

3. THE TRUSTEES STRATEGY PRIORITY GROUP REPORTS
A. FACULTY DEVELOPMENT GROUP
This group is co-chaired by Alison Power and Melissa Owens and is a new group, created out of the CAIPE Strategy (2022-2027).
The Strategy identifies the priorities for the Faculty Development Group to: ‘support higher education institutions and other educational organisations through departmental, curriculum and assessment guidance’. It has 4 priorities which are to: 1. Facilitate the understanding, interpretation, and implementation of CAIPE Standards for interprofessional education;
-
Clarify the skill set required of the interprofessional educator;
-
Create guides for the curriculum and interprofessional course and;
-
Provide guidance on assessment strategies for interprofessional education.
Part of the work of this group, therefore, relies on the completion of the work of the ‘Standard Setting’ working group, who are working to develop standards for best practice in interprofessional education. Therefore, for this coming year we are focusing on priority 3: create guides for curriculum and interprofessional course structure. With this in mind, in the coming year we aim to:
-
Review website and liaise with marketing colleagues regarding development of the Members-only area of the website and resources.
-
Start to create a suite of PowerPoint presentations and resources that can be used for 'off the shelf’ and ‘bespoke’ workshops.
B. RESEARCH
The CAIPE research subgroup formed during the COVID-19 pandemic between 20212023, comprising perspectives from six countries (Scotland, England, Philippines, Austria, Qatar, Sri Lanka). Twenty-four group members included interprofessional academics, researchers, students, a service user, with a practice case study from two midwives.
The subgroup’s purpose was to collaboratively reflect on and analyse empirical experiences of adapting and sustaining interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) during the pandemic. Members valued opportunities to work together and learn, to advance interprofessional education (IPE). Subgroup members developed and disseminated conceptual and theoretical knowledge through journal publications, conferences, and social media.
The IPE series of eight peer-reviewed papers, published in the British Journal of Midwifery, considers lessons learned from emergency remote teaching during the pandemic, using case studies to offer unique, rich, empirical data. The series deliberates the historical context of IPE and the pandemic’s impact, exploring concepts of IPE and emergency remote teaching with online learning. Students’, academics’, and service users’ experiences are explored, considering assessment for interprofessional learning and practice-based learning. The series consolidates lessons learned, reflects on the practice impact with a midwifery case study, and offers key considerations and recommendations to inform future IPECP. 5
Evidence, legislation, policy, and theory are integral to the publications. The forced redesign of pedagogy and use of technology simultaneously emphasised the importance of collaboration and interprofessional learning in education and practice, with the need to evaluate IPECP provision. Emerging evidence is explored with theory, such as Edelbring’s (2010) threefold framework of learning, core learning design principles (the 3Ps: presage, process, product), and Rolfe et al.’s (2001) reflective model. Policy was considered regarding calls for IPECP from the World Health Organisation and in UK National Reports. Regarding legislation, the papers contemplate the impact on UK professional statutory regulatory bodies for health and social care professions.
To globally disseminate the CAIPE subgroup work, two international virtual presentations have been given at Interprofessional. Global Cafés and two presentations were delivered at the ATBH XI Conference in Doha, Qatar in November 2023 sharing lessons learned from the publication series and exploring experiences of writing as a global interprofessional group.
The CAIPE Research subgroup illustrates how international academics, students, service users, researchers and practitioners can collaborate effectively to learn together, sharing knowledge and practice, within the global interprofessional community through analysis and evaluation of authentic experiences.
Evidence of Impact
The CAIPE Research Experience Subgroup has impacted the global field of IPECP, including education, practice involving service user partnership and sharing practitioner experiences, development of subgroup members and IPECP scholars, with the potential policy impact recognised.
The CAIPE Research Experience Subgroup published eight peer-reviewed articles; these are widely cited and disseminated across social media. Following the ATBH Conference, four international presentations have been delivered.
The IPE series has over 50 citations, and the paper published in September 2023 offers potential for increased impact from those reading, using, and citing the publications (Table 1). Citing authors are from 17 countries: England, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, USA, Germany, Canada, South Africa, India, Sweden, Australia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, China, Saudi Arabia, and Portugal, and from various professions including nurses, doctors, midwives, operating department practitioners, pharmacists, psychologists, and counsellors. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, citations include an international report, doctoral and master's theses, a book chapter and in nonhealthcare fields, e.g., business administration and economics, computing and mathematical science, university education and school education. This demonstrates the value and significant international impact with diverse professions, from different countries, engaging with and citing papers from the series.

Impact is illustrated with examples of knowledge mobilisation through Interprofessional. Global (IP.Global) and InterprofessionalResearch.Global (IPR.Global).
IPR.Global, the global network for interprofessional research, included the CAIPE Research Experience Subgroup work within their e-book report: https://interprofessionalresearch.global/ipecp-in-post-covid-era-joint-discussionpaper/ . They disseminated key findings from the first paper in an IPR.Global Pearl, using an infographic to highlight pedagogy, practice, and policy in a website blog, shared across social media.
Subgroup members have presented two virtual presentations at IP. Global Cafés to international audiences.
- The first presentation, by six authors, presented the first four articles and has over 40 views: Learning in lockdown: exploring the impact of COVID-19 on interprofessional education:
7
- The second presentation by six authors discusses the final four papers with almost 140 YouTube views: Learning in lockdown Part 2: exploring the impact of COVID-19 on IPE to inform future provision: presentations viewed 179 times, along with international attendees, demonstrates significant impact and expansive engagement with the subgroup’s IPE publication series.
Practice and educational impact can be demonstrated through subgroup collaboration with students, service users and practitioners. The work has potential to influence policy with inclusion in a doctoral dissertation relating to Non-Governmental Organization and Non-Profit Organization impact on education policy in Ghana, and the BJM editor noted the importance of our series considering digital healthcare and equality of access https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2022.30.4.185
Subgroup members have been impacted by writing in global groups, leading papers, through reflection, evaluation, reviewing literature, and presenting. This has increased networking, collaboration, confidence, informing IPECP activity in and outside of members organisations.
As an international interprofessional subgroup, the ethos was to share experiences, learning with, from and about each other in an authentic, inclusive, equitable and collaborative way. Members worked as a community of practice with shared values aligned to the philosophy of IPECP and through dissemination are impacting the global field of IPECP.

Congress Theme: "Learning Together for Clinical Excellence"
-
Today, patients are rarely looked after by just one health professional, and in the context of a complex healthcare system, effective teamworking and interprofessional learning is essential for the delivery of effective and patient-centred care. We are delighted to be working in partnership to bring you this joint three-day event providing an excellent opportunity for us and our delegates to strengthen links and learn from diverse healthcare professions to establish new ways of working together.
-
This congress is one of the best opportunities for educators across the health professions to come together to share good practice, the latest innovations in healthcare education, as well as for networking, academic collaboration, and professional development.
Keynote Presentations:
1. Prof. Josie Fraser (Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Open University, United Kingdom)
Prof. Fraser has multiple years of experience within healthcare education. She is Deputy Vice Chancellor at the Open University (UK) and a member of the INHWE Advisory Board. As Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Josie provides oversight and leadership on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, to the academic domain of the University. She provides significant support in developing and delivering the University's academic strategy and also ensures the effectiveness and appropriateness of pedagogy such that curriculum, tuition and student experience are fully integrated and applied consistently across the institution.
Josie has been an advocate for team-based learning (TBL) and interprofessional education in healthcare. TBL is a highly structured “flipped classroom” teaching method that solves common challenges encountered in healthcare education. Josie argues that using TBL as a way to facilitate interprofessional education creates enquiring students, who are able to study information independently outside of the classroom and can then use that information to solve scientific or clinical problems with their colleagues, creatively. Keynote Presentation: The potential of TBL for IPE

5. THE JOURNAL OF INTERPROFESSIONAL CARE (JIC)
- The official journal of CAIPE
The Journal of Interprofessional Care is now widely regarded as the premier venue for scholarship on interprofessional education and collaborative practice. With an impact factor of 2.7, it is firmly among the top journals in the Health Policy and Systems category. Moreover, with a CiteScore of 4.5, it is in the top quartile of journals in the General Medicine category.
First published in 1986, the journal has seen steady growth year-on-year in both its readership and impact over the past few decades. It now processes over a thousand manuscripts and has over 700,000 downloads annually. The journal's focus on strengthening health professions education and systems for healthcare is increasingly relevant amidst ongoing and recent calls from the World Health Organisation for collaborative practice-ready health workers to ensure coordinated and efficient healthcare delivery centred around service user and community needs.
Looking forward, the Journal of Interprofessional Care is poised to further increase its reach and influence as interprofessional education and collaborative practice continue to gain prominence worldwide as key vehicles for health equity, safety, and quality personcentred care. The journal provides an important platform to share knowledge, foster dialogue, and promote evidence-based practices to enhance collaboration across professions in healthcare.
6. UK REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY
THE JOHN HORDER AWARD
After an initial slow trickle of entries, we had a number of excellent submissions and hotly contested team and student prizes for this year. The team awards for 2023 went to worthy winners: Sarah O’Hare’s team at Queens University in Belfast was an international collaborative effort involving academic input from Ulster University in Londonderry and also the University of Oulu, Finland. This involved interprofessional
12
in situ simulation training around paediatric emergencies in primary care. An excellent report and presentation, putting theory into practice and evidence of outcomes both in the simulation training and then in an actual case where the team could use their skills learnt for direct patient care. At the end I wondered whether this could be rolled out more widely, and why haven’t we thought of this before? It really was quite extraordinary and a clear paradigm for how we should deliver team-based training to deliver best patient centred care.
The student awards had a number of exceptional high quality entries, with the award going to : Alexandra Cardoso and Kinan Wihba of Imperial College London. An extremely well written and researched report, weaving their experience of the value of community-based organisations in healthcare alongside evidence and theory. This was clearly a rich educational experience for the students. They got to grips with issues around funding and resource in trying to deliver community-based interventions for those most in need of them. I reflected that the student award really injects a different sort of energy and perspective into the event, as well as hope in shaping reflective health professionals of the future.
The event was hosted by the RSM at their excellent conference facilities in Wimpole Street in London. As ever the associated primary care education conference had interesting and thought-provoking sessions to benefit from, alongside dinner afterwards and the opportunity to chat to the winners, judges and conference attendees. Personally, I think I obtained almost a years’ worth of CPD from the presentations beforehand, with the editor of the BMJ giving research awards updates in a very concise manner alongside pictures of his ultra running on a windswept Scottish hillside. I reflected a lot of healthcare professionals have slightly over the top hobbies or exercise routines. Probably necessary to keep working in practice… (I have since booked to ride Lands’ End to John O’Groats in 9 days as a fund raiser – wish me luck…)
Overall, the awards went very well once again and I am very grateful to everyone involved, especially Emma Beal for co-ordinating everything so well, and to Liz, Paquita and the RSM team for all their input including judging, presenting and hosting. Some tweaks and a bit more marketing and we will be good to go for next year!
7. CAIPE MEMBERSHIP

13
Student Membership 283 Service users and carers 17 Individual Members 56 Corporate Members 30 (which includes 1,036 sponsored log-ins accessible through the corporate body)
We would like to warmly welcome the following new corporate members:
Associacao Educacional De Ciencias Da Educacao, Brazil Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust
8. FINANCIAL POSITION & TREASURER’S REPORT
In 2022/23 our financial position has remained healthy. During this year a clearer structure for the dissemination of our financial status has been implemented. This allows board members greater clarity and increases their understanding of how funds are being spent. This greater transparency is essential to comply with the requirements of the Charity Commission
There were surpluses on ordinary activities of £18,242 (2022: £13,999). Membership income has increased from £31,758 (2022) to £35,289 this year, but remains lower than the average of the 3 previous financial years of £41,376.
Total reserves carried forward at 31 March 2023 were £160,895. Expenditure has remained steady this year at £26,174, (2022: £27,951), as new, efficient and cost-effective ways of meeting and collaborating electronically have now become embedded along with faceto-face events where they can provide an enhanced experience.
The trustees are confident that the reserves are sufficient to secure the future of CAIPE and enable further investment in membership activities.
The trustees are satisfied that the financial position will enable them to meet all financial obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the AGM in November 2023, as required by charity regulations, and best practice.
Risk Assessment and Public Benefit
The risks to the organisation, both internal and external are kept under constant review by the trustees. The guidance issued by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit has been considered by the trustees and is taken into account in decision making.
At the time of writing the longer-term effects of economic uncertainty caused by the global pandemic and two wars are unknown. The bulk of the membership fees are from UK Higher Education Institutions, which may experience income contraction for the foreseeable future.
14
In mitigation of a drop in income CAIPE holds unrestricted reserves of £160,859, which the trustees feel is satisfactory to provide for any future loss of income and invest in the future of IPE. Of the total unrestricted reserve, £34,329 has been designated by the trustees for work reported under “Funded Projects” on page 17 and there is a reconciliation of remaining balances on page 18. These represent the unspent balance of grants already received.
Reserves and Investment Policy
This year has seen the introduction of a reserves policy and guide which is a timely addition to CAIPE policy portfolio and has consolidated our approach to the expectations of the Charity Commission in the management of the charity’s reserves by:
Acting in the interests of CAIPE and its beneficiaries Protecting and safeguarding the assets of their charity Acting with reasonable care and skill Ensuring the charity is accountable
At 31 March 2023, CAIPE had cash at bank balances of £162,581. There are 2 deposit accounts at Lloyds bank. A balance of £10,033 and £101,662. The latter is bearing interest at 0.7% which is a significant increase on previous rates which were below 0.1% historically. The remaining balance is held on a current account. The trustees are therefore able to access funds as required, whilst maintaining core reserves separately.
In 2023/24 the treasurer will facilitate the transfer our existing funds from the current provider to accounts supported by the CAF Charity Banking Service https://www.cafonline.org/caf-bank. This will enable efficient and ethical returns on CAIPE investment whilst improving the return on CAIPE’s investments whilst maintaining the values of CAIPE.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The individuals listed on the charity Information page are trustees for the purpose of charity law.
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to: -
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business; and
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charity SORP. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no material information, of which the company's examiners are unaware.
For and on behalf of the trustees:
Elizabeth Anderson 16 November 2023 Joint Chair

UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) Notes to the Accounts
For the year ended, 31 March 2023
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102 as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective Jan 2015, and within the provisions of the Charities Act 2011.
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Incoming Resources
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis where the amount is quantifiable, where legal entitlement has been established and where the receipt of funds is probable. Income will be deferred where appropriate.
In accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (effective Jan 2015) issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met, are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts
Investment Income
Bank interest received is included on an actual receipts’ basis.
Resources Expended
Costs are recognised as soon as a legal obligation can be quantified and the trustees consider that crystallisation of the cost is probable.
The policy for including items within the relevant activity of categories of resources expended is that the direct costs of providing services to members; publications, training events and associated travel and other expenses are shown as being the costs of charitable activities.
All other costs are the indirect costs of running the charity and are shown as governance and management and administration. Specific statutory governance costs are shown separately from other administration costs.
20
UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) Notes to the Accounts (continued) For the year ended, 31 March 2023
Fixed assets and depreciation
All tangible fixed assets, except freehold land and buildings, are stated at cost less depreciation. Freehold land and buildings, where held, are stated at a valuation arrived at by a professionally qualified firm of valuers, who valued the assets on the basis of open market value in current use. Items of less than £500 are not capitalised. In this Financial year, there are no fixed assets, and no depreciation charge. Depreciation would have been provided at appropriate rates in order to write off the assets (less their expected residual value) over their estimated useful economic lives.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Fund’s structure policy
The charity maintains a General Unrestricted Fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Restricted Funds may be provided, from time to time, to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully the monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
Designated Funds are those unrestricted income funds applied by direction of the trustees for a specific purpose (s).
2 Going Concern
The charity is able to pay its liabilities as they fall due, has no significant contingent liabilities or post balance sheet events that contradict this view and has sufficient reserves to operate for at least 12 months from the signature date of these accounts.
3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
