Description
Barraclough, Pit, and Smith-Merry ask in 2026 whether a validated global competency framework can guide integrated care teaching in Australia. Training of health and social care workers in integrated care is lacking or uneven. Twelve curriculum leads from unlike disciplines were interviewed one by one.
Barriers included weak grasp of what integrated care is and how the framework applies. Three arenas stood out where it could land, national workforce reform, curriculum change, and leadership and culture. The authors conclude such training should be mandated inside professional programs. Their framework is offered as a national standard for that teaching.
