Caring for patients requires an interprofessional approach. The purpose of this article is to reflect on a specific experience of interprofessional working encountered while working as a nurse in clinical practice. A critical analysis and evaluation is offered with a focus on the extent to which interprofessional collaboration can enhance a patient's journey through the healthcare system. Gibbs' reflective cycle (1988) is used to guide the discussion, taking into account a description of the event, feelings encountered, the positive and negative aspects of the experience, an analysis of the event, and a conclusion of the overall experience. An action plan for future practice is offered. The unique role and contribution that nursing makes within the interprofessional team will be discussed.
