Communities of Practice

Communities of Practice (CoPs) are groups of peers who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.

The collaborative learning process of ‘thinking together’ is one of the most meaningful elements of a CoP and what makes it work. Thinking together is conceptualised as people sharing knowledge through mutually guiding each other through their understanding of the same problems in their area of shared interest.

Interested in joining in on the discussion?  We currently have CoPs for Breast Cancer, Nurse Educators and Nurse Managers/Executives with more to be developed in 2025.
