#IPChat

#IPChat is an open and inclusive monthly conversation about interprofessional education and collaboration held on twitter.

#IPChat will help anyone interested in healthcare collaboration and education to connect with others who share the same interest, generate ideas, build relationships and share promising practices with a growing patient-centred community.
