(SPA, 2010). In undertaking this work, speech pathologists
are obliged to consider our clients in a broad context and in
the community in which they operate. Clients with multiple
or complex needs will be increasingly engaging in
interventions provided by a range of different practitioners
using a range of treatment and care modalities. The
profession as a whole as well as individual practitioners
need to consider how we respect, collaborate and work
with other professionals to improve clinical outcomes and
enhance the seamless delivery of services. Interprofessional
collaboration including interprofessional learning and
practice offers a process with benefits and challenges for
practitioners.
