This paper revisits the formative evaluation of a pilot project that offered in-service interprofessional education (IPE), which is designed to enhance the collaborative practice, to two UK community mental health teams (CMHTs). While the IPE was well received and resulted in some improvements in team functioning, wider successes were elusive. Specifically, collaborative action plans were not implemented, and the pilot programme was ultimately not rolled out to other CMHTs. The purpose of this paper is to test the usefulness of the presage-process-product (3P) framework for analysis as a means to untangle the complex web of factors that promoted and inhibited success in this initiative. The framework, which captures key features of the initiative as a dynamic system, proved effective, yielding new insights, making connections clearer and highlighting the critical importance of presage. We argue that use of the 3P model during the development of in-service IPE could ensure that planning oversights are minimized, thereby improving outcomes.
