The majority of the workshops were facilitated by an interprofessional team comprised of pharmacists, doctors and nurses, with all students working in small groups with participants from each of the professional groups, where possible. All seminars had standardised materials, but it was up to individual facilitators to choose which of the five case studies were used within the seminar. The seminars lasted between 2 and 3 hours, and depending on which case studies were used, two or three cases could be discussed. Student feedback showed that the seminar was particularly successful in highlighting and improving the students' understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities in relation to medication safety. There are considerable organisational challenges in arranging interprofessional groups. Scenarios need to provide tasks that engage and challenge all of the professions involved. Facilitation is an important element. Interprofessional education should be encouraged.
