Interprofessional patient-centred collaboration in healthcare is necessary for the effective management of chronic diseases. Continuing professional development (CPD) programmes that offer a platform for healthcare professionals of different disciplines to convene and learn together may function as an effective platform to both foster greater collaboration between them and increase awareness of patient perspectives. We report on our learnings from organising the PARTNER programme - a CPD initiative on the management of psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis - that targeted both specialists (comprising rheumatologists and dermatologists) and primary care. After participating in the programme, learners demonstrated a stronger intent to collaborate with each other and a heightened awareness of patient perspectives. However, changes at a practice level could not be evaluated due to the lack of substantial follow-up data. Our experience offers useful insights as to the effectiveness and limitations of organising CPD programmes to promote interprofessional collaboration and patient-centred care. The role of such programmes in the management of chronic diseases, and their ideal format, should be further explored as they have potential to effect change in practice.
医疗保健领域以患者为中心的跨专业协作对于慢性病的有效管理至关重要。持续专业发展（CPD）项目为不同学科的医疗保健专业人员提供了一个共同召集和学习的平台，可能成为促进他们之间加强协作以及提高对患者观点认识的有效平台。我们报告了组织PARTNER项目的经验教训，该项目是一项关于银屑病和/或银屑病关节炎管理的CPD倡议，目标受众包括专科医生（包括风湿病学家和皮肤科医生）以及初级保健人员。参与该项目后，学习者表现出更强的相互协作意愿以及对患者观点更高的认识。然而，由于缺乏大量的随访数据，无法评估实践层面的变化。我们的经验为组织CPD项目以促进跨专业协作和以患者为中心的护理的有效性和局限性提供了有益的见解。此类项目在慢性病管理中的作用及其理想形式应进一步探索，因为它们有可能在实践中带来改变。
