2007 co-recipient with Lisa Nissen and Rosalie Boyce of a Faculty of Health Sciences Teaching and Learning Fellowship for Interprofessional Education. The fellowship along with a grant from the National Prescribing Service (NPS) provided support for the development of two innovative on-line educational modules for students and graduates of the health sciences to learn about interprofessional practice with a focus on safe use of medications. The NPS now uses these modules nationally to promote safe use of medications in healthcare teams. The modules also form part of the interprofessional education curriculum (IPE) for students of the faculty of Health Sciences at UQ.

2006 recipient along with Dr. Rosalie Boyce of a Faculty of Health Sciences Teaching and Learning  Fellowship for Interprofessional Education. The funding allowed us to develop and stage the first Australian Health Care Team Challenge. This learning activity brought together teams of students from all of the health sciences in an interactive case based public challenge. It attracted wide attention and we have subsequently attracted 2 grants to develop a national and international model. www.healthfusionteamchallenge.com
