Connect, share and learn

Get involved, share ideas, and learn together 

The Engagement Practice Learning and Improvement System helps you: 

  • Connect, network and learn from others supporting and leading engagement. 
  • Share ideas, experiences, and practical approaches. 
  • Discover how people and communities are shaping health and care and how you can be part of it.  

The Engagement Practice Network  

Our Engagement Practice Network brings together people who lead, support, and research engagement.  

If you are working with people or communities, shaping policy, or exploring new ways to involve people in decisions, change or improvement, the network can help you:

  • Connect with others who want to engage in a meaningful way. 
  • Share ideas, challenges and successes. 
  • Learn from real experiences. 
  • Access learning and practical tools. 
  • Strengthen the involvement of people and communities in shaping care and services. 

Our Learning Together Communities of Practice  

Our network includes three dedicated Communities of Practice. These are private, peer learning spaces supported by subject matter experts. Each community offers a safe and focused environment to share experiences, build skills, and deepen understanding of engagement in health and social care.

  • Improving Engagement Community of Practice 
    For people leading or supporting engagement who want to strengthen their knowledge and skills. 
  • Service Change (Engagement) Community of Practice 
    For people involved in service change who want to understand and apply statutory duties and national guidance to improve engagement. 
  • Evidence for Engagement Community of Practice 
    For people who use data, research or lived experience to understand and improve engagement.
