This document outlines essential inter-professional learning for healthcare professionals involved with cerebral palsy patients. It discusses socio-economic issues like financial strain, social difficulties, housing challenges, and mobility concerns, as well as physical factors impacting care, including midwife support, anxiety management, and sibling reactions. The functional deficits of cerebral palsy, such as mobility issues, cognitive delays, communication barriers, and various impairments are also addressed. The paper emphasizes the need for a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach to enhance patient support and educational outcomes.
