    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Kock, Luzaan; Mlenzana, Nondwe
    There has been a global shift to an interprofessional model of care as interprofessional practice (IPP) has been highlighted as an innovative way to fight the challenges faced in the health system. The implementation of IPP is targeted at all employees who participate in the provision of healthcare services. IPP can happen at all levels of health care. The primary health care (PHC) level is seen as the core of a sustainable health system, and this study focused on the PHC level.
