In-2- theory Group members delivered a workshop at the CABIV Conference in Vancouver this week on how to operationalise  psychosocial theory in collaborative practice and interprofessional education settings to assist practitioners in their critical reflection and problem solving skills in this area. The workshop offered a taster of a knowledge exchange model to be developed through a Canadian Institutes of  Health Research (CIHR) grant held by the Universities of New Brunswick, Bournemouth University, University of British Colombia and others.  In this model the domains of practitioner knowledge collected through participant narratives overlap with academic theoretical knowledge, in the coproduction of new narratives retold through a theoretical lens.  Our aim is the development of pragmatic but theoretically informed solutions to the challenges facing collaborative practice and education.   For further discussion, Contact Sarah Hean Shean@bournemouth.ac.uk or Shelley Docuet, sdoucet@unb.ca
