About

At Nova Scotia Health, we value interprofessional collaboration. As a health care professional, it helps to recognize and understand the impact of each health care team member's individual role, attitudes and values. This includes patients and family members/support people.

There are a variety of strategies and tools to help you communicate and collaborate within a team. Follow up with your manager/team lead/practice educators on which documents are utilized in your practice setting or those available to support your individual practice.

The resources identified below are a starting point for your reference. Content provided on this page is optional to review. Any policies or LMS courses required by your practice area will be identified by your leadership team (i.e. manager, team lead, educator).
