ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATES IN ADVANCING HIGHER EDUCATION AND WORK-BASED LEARNING

The three authors are academic teachers and clinical practitioners who conduct research in higher and healthcare education, work-based learning and professional development. They are involved in providing professionals from any sector and students with practical skills to succeed in higher university degrees, work-based learning, reflective practice, interprofessional teamwork and professional doctorates. They wrote extensively on these topics. Their last manuscript Interprofessional and Interprofessional Teamwork and Handovers in Healthcare has been successfully adopted in guiding cooperative teamwork in healthcare settings and teaching collaborative clinical skills to healthcare practitioners.
