We aimed to explore in depth, the lived experience of parenting a child with DDH. Methods: Guided by phenomenology of practice, six mothers and one father of children with DDH were engaged in semi-structured interviews about their parenting experiences. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Results: Two themes emerged. Surrendering the parenting prerogative, which described participants¿ accounts of losing parenting autonomy while needing to rely on others to meet the needs of their child. The second theme; Struggling to adjust day-to-day, described the impact that DDH had on parenting and how participants struggled daily to meet the needs of their child. Conclusion: The management of DDH impacted both the emotional and practical aspects of parenting. Health professionals are ideally placed to support the parenting of children with DDH, but need to understand the parents¿ particular needs to provide this support empathetically.

As part of a collaborative dialogical inquiry, data from 19 semi-structured interviews and 9 focus groups were used to explore how IPE educators develop shared purpose to help students learn to work with other health professions. Consistent with this methodology, the research group and study participants comprised educators from eight different professions. Questions asked of the data, using a lens of intersubjectivity, included: ¿What implicit assumptions are brought to interactions?¿ and ¿What happens to these assumptions as educators interact?¿ The emergent themes caution against assuming that all educators initially bring to interprofessional spaces only positive attitudes towards all professions. Educators beginning in a fragmented interprofessional space needed to reflect on earlier negative experiences with particular professions for reframing in a socially aware interprofessional space to enable collaborating in an intentional interprofessional space.
