Hugh thanked Kings College London and Professor Greenough for hosting the AGM and in supporting interprofessional education (IPE).
Welcome and Address from Professor Anne Greenough
Professor Anne Greenough, Head of Kings College London School of Medicine, gave an overview of interprofessional education at Kings within the context of their Academic Health Sciences Centre (AHSC).

Address by the new Chair
Bryony Lamb introduced and welcomed the new Chair of CAIPE, Elizabeth Howkins, who was elected earlier this year. Elizabeth stated she was honoured to be elected and in her address set out her aims for CAIPE whilst she is Chair, within the broader context for IPE:
- To build on CAIPE’s new status as a virtual organisation
- To carefully and prudently manage CAIPE’s finances
- To develop CAIPE’s capability and capacity within a realistic framework
- To work more effectively with government and policy makers to influence IPE in practice
- To make the essential link more transparent between patient safety, quality of care and IPE. (In the process defend against levelling down particularly in a cash strapped NHS)
- To work with partner organisations to increase national and international influence of IPE in theory and practice
- To listen to our CAIPE members and shape the organisation to meet their needs
Keynote Address from Dr Angela Lennox
Elizabeth Howkins introduced Angela Lennox, Associate Clinical Director of Primary Care at the Department of Health. Angela gave a presentation on ‘NHS Integrated Care – implications for professional development’.
Angela congratulated CAIPE on the work taking place saying the NHS needs CAIPE and looks to CAIPE for leadership. Presentation of the policy landscape and where IPE can address issues will be vital.

RESEARCH STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
Chris Green a 3rd year PhD student from the University of Essex who also leads the Research Student Network introduced the presentations. The research students all gave fascinating accounts and overviews of their research work focussing upon IPE to date:

- Of relative distance: students’ and professionals’ responses to interprofessional education and practice - Chris Green, a 3rd year PhD student from the University of Essex
- Does interprofessional education and working have any impact on perceptions of professional identity and organisational culture?- Viktoria Joynes a 1st year PhD student from the University of Leeds
Victoria invited members of the meeting to comment to her on their thoughts about whether involvement in IPE could influence perceptions of professional identity and whether members own involvement in IPE has influenced their own professional identity (contact v.c.t.joynes@leeds.ac.uk).
The final student presentation was by Miriam Gent a final year medical student from the University of Leicester. "Is Medical Humanities an interprofessional activity?"
Miriam presented her experience of being involved in a Masters in medical humanities and invited discussion on the proposition that medical humanities could become a new IP discipline.
