abstract: 'Objective Continuing education (CE) is essential for a healthcare
workforce, but in regional areas of Australia there are challenges to
providing and accessing relevant, reliable and low-cost opportunities.
The aim of the present study was to collaborate with the local regional
healthcare workforce to design, deliver and evaluate an
interdisciplinary CE (ICE) program.
Methods A participatory action research (PAR) model combined with an
appreciative inquiry (AI) framework was used to design, deliver and
evaluate an ICE program. A focus group of 11 health professionals
developed an initial program. Evaluation data from 410 program
participants were analysed using AI.
Results The ICE program addressed the CE barriers for the regional
healthcare workforce because the locally derived content was delivered
at a reasonable cost and in a convenient location. Program participants
identified that they most valued shared experiences and opportunities
enabling them to acquire and confirm relevant knowledge.
Conclusion ICE programs enhance interdisciplinary collaboration.
However, attendance constraints for regional healthcare workforce
include location, cost, workplace and personal factors. Through
community engagement, resource sharing and cooperation, a local
university and the interdisciplinary focus group members successfully
designed and delivered the local education and research nexus program to
address a CE problem for a regional healthcare workforce.
What is known about the topic? Participation in CE is mandatory for most
health professionals. However, various barriers exist for regional
health workers to attending CE. Innovative programs, such as webinars
and travelling workshops, address some of the issues but create others.
Bringing various health workers together for the simultaneous education
of multiple disciplines is beneficial. Collectively, this is called ICE.
What does this paper add? Using PAR combined with AI to design an ICE
program will focus attention on the enablers of the program and meet the
diverse educational needs of the healthcare workforce in regional areas.
Engaging regional health professionals with a local university to design
and deliver CE is one way to increase access to quality, cost-effective
education.
What are the implications for practitioners? Regional healthcare
workers'' CE needs are more likely to be met when education programs are
designed by them and developed for them. ICE raises awareness of the
roles of multiple healthcare disciplines. Learning together strengthens
healthcare networks by bolstering relationships through a greater
understanding of each other''s roles. Enriching communication between
local health workers has the potential to enhance patient care.'
