Detailed analysis of medication records suggests a number of areas of medication administration that would benefit from review.

IBS patients' GI and anxiety responses to changes in tryptophan load differ from controls. This suggests a difference in serotonergic functioning between these two groups and provides evidence to support the hypothesis that 5-HT dysfunction is involved in IBS.

Background: Interprofessional facilitators and teachers are regarded as central to the effective delivery of interprofessional education (IPE). As the IPE literature continues to expand, most studies have focused on reporting learner outcomes, with little attention paid to IPE facilitation. However, a number of studies have recently emerged reporting on this phenomenon.Aim: To present a synthesis of qualitative evidence on the facilitation of IPE, using a metaethnographic approach.Methods: Electronic databases and journals were searched for the past 10 years. Of the 2,164 abstracts initially found, 94 full papers were reviewed, and subsequently 12 papers were included. Two researchers independently completed each step in the review process. The quality of these papers was assessed using a modified critical appraisal checklist.Results: Seven key concepts embedded in the included studies were synthesised into three main factors which provided an insight into the nature of IPE facilitation. Specifically, the synthesis found that IPE facilitation is influenced by 'contextual characteristics'; 'facilitator experiences' and 'use of different facilitation strategies'.Conclusions: IPE facilitation is a complex activity affected by contextual, experiential and pedagogical factors. Further research is needed to explore the effects of these factors in IPE.
