Interprofessional Case Discussions
(German)

The interprofessional (IP) case discussions (short ICDs) were the very first project SHAPED took on. It started all in November 2020 with the first one taking place in German with an astonishing number of 30 participants! Excited by the success as well as the feedback of the participants, soon after we began to develop a French version as well and have ever since continued to prepare new cases for YOU to solve in an interprofessional team!

ICD as part of the curriculum at ZHAW

We are looking for motivated medical and pharmacy students who want to participate in an ICD at the department of health at ZHAW in Winterthur. Their students from the fields of nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, health promotion & prevention and midwifery can chose to participate in the ICD as part of their curriculum. Do you want to help them to solve the case? Apply here.

You will find further information about what an ICD exactly is below on this page. To get a feeling of the ICD's you can have a look at the past cases.

Revised ICD - The gynecological case is back
(15th of November 2022)

Have you ever wondered what happens during pregnancy and birth if things don't go quite as planned? 

Well this case was all about a normal pregnancy that suddenly turned into an emergency. We had a lot of interesting discussions in the three ICD groups which we held simultaneously.

Revised ICD - The neuro case is back 
(31st of May 2022)

We optimized our very first ICD about a neurological case and held it again in May. 

The case was about Mrs. Marti, who was having breakfast with her husband. Suddenly, her left arm felt very heavy and she felt sick. When she tried to talk to her husband about it, he barely understood a word. She slipped limply on her left side and almost fell out of her chair. Her husband immediately called the emergency service (144). 

In the shock room, the patient was awaited by an interprofessional team consisting of a neurological physician and nursing staff. In the background, pharmacy professionals were standing by. Later on also the radiology technician, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nutritionist and speech therapist treated Mrs. Marti. 

5th ICD involving chiropractors
(15th of March 2022)

Aside of having to take care of a tram driver with backache and gait insecurity, the participants gained valuable insight to what a chiropractor does in their daily life at work. 

4th ICD from the 5th of October 2021

 a gynecological case:

"Die 34-jährige Frau M., welche sich in ihrer zweiten Schwangerschaft befindet, ist beim Routineuntersuchung in der 39 + 0 Schwangerschaftswoche. Während diesem Untersuch werden  zufälligerweise weitere Schwierigkeiten festgestellt. Jetzt heisst es schnell handeln und gut kommunizieren, sodass Mutter und Kind keine bleibenden Schäden davon tragen oder gar sterben. Nur zusammen könnt ihr Frau M. und ihrem Kind helfen - los geht's!"
