A community of practice for knowledge and library services staff interested in knowledge mobilisation.

Meeting of library professionals
A community of practice sharing best practice

“Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” (Wenger-Trayner)

Members of the knowledge mobilisation community of practice:

  • share ideas, ask questions and call on the ‘experts’ among us
  • learn from one another in an inclusive way
  • develop our knowledge base
  • practise some KM techniques

Non-urgent advice: Joining

The community of practice uses the Knowledge Mobilisation and Management Community of Practice FutureNHS workspace.
