Team and organisational learning in a cross‐functional community of practice: the importance of privileging voices

Abstract

New ways of working predicate new ways of learning. Reports on a workshop which examined facilitated case history discussions as a means whereby a team could share and extend their learning around the common focus of interest – the patient. Discussion in the workshop focused on “how‐to” aspects of small group facilitation. A question stimulated subsequent enquiry about “privileging voices”. Examines how the facilitation enabled interactive, inter‐professional education through an informal form of discourse analysis on the transcripts of the case discussions. The concept of “privileging voices” is demonstrable in the way the authors worked to facilitate the case history discussions.
