“…These groups of interprofessional healthcare professionals were supplemented in one study by a child-life specialist [40], a pharmacist [41] and a music therapist [42]. Two studies only targeted physicians and nurses [43,44], and one study supplemented these two groups of healthcare professionals with paramedics and patient care technicians [45].…”

Purpose Despite improved treatment and care, children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer continue to die, while many of those cured are burdened by treatment-related sequelae. The best clinical management of children and adolescents with cancer depends on healthcare professionals with various skills and expertise. Complex treatment, care and rehabilitation require collaboration between healthcare professionals. The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and evaluate existing interprofessional education in paediatric cancer. Methods We utilised the scoping review methodology and searched PubMed, Scopus and Education Resources Information Center. Inclusion criteria were postgraduate studies targeting more than one profession and evaluation of the educational intervention. We applied Kirkpatrick's modified interprofessional education outcomes model to systematise outcomes. Results Of 418 references, nine studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The design, strategy and content of all the studies were heterogeneous. None of the interprofessional educations systematically evaluated knowledge, skills, attitudes or the effects on patient outcomes or quality of care. Conclusion There is a lack of well-structured, interprofessional education in paediatric cancer that has undergone evaluation. Paediatric cancer may benefit from systematic education and evaluation frameworks since interprofessional education could potentially strengthen the treatment, care and rehabilitation for children and adolescents with cancer.

“…[16] Health care practitioners need more opportunities to explore such practices, and to better articulate what works in different clinical settings. [17] These types of meetings have functional and social significance in team building. For example, in the case we reported on, a regular team meeting held to discuss the patient's mental state and health condition may have enabled earlier action before the situation exacerbated.…”

Interprofessional collaboration is essential to improve patient outcomes in hematology units. We report on the case of a patient with severe aplastic anemia who died after a fall in a hematology unit and explore the events of the case within the context of interprofessional collaboration. Several strategies were taken into consideration suggested by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel. A regular team meeting is helpful for gaining information about patients. Multidisciplinary education can enhance cooperation among medical team members and the use of an interprofessional curriculum at university level is recommended. Team building, interprofessional education, and clinical practice may facilitate health care providers to reach a collaborative level of clinical practice in a more considerate manner, to meet the demands of high quality health care.
