Abstract

This chapter will provide guidance for educational practice founded on theory and on the experience of involving service users and carers in student education. Whilst this is an accepted philosophy and practice it is not necessarily easy to achieve. There are numerous ways of including service users in education but the era of digital media has added a means of bringing the service user into the learning environment and of overcoming many of the barriers to their effective engagement. The Centre for Interprofessional e-learning (CIPeL) has been engaged in developing e-learning materials which address some of the barriers to interprofessional education and issues related to user involvement in education. This experience is outlined and some examples from practice are given.
