Knowledge Mobilisation Community of Practice

We are building a community of practice across all Midlands DSUs around knowledge and evidence, and looking for a representative from each DSU to join the Midlands Knowledge Mobilisation Community of Practice. 4 DSUs have appointed knowledge leads.
The focus of the CoP is co-ordinating and sharing evidence work to minimise duplication across the network. The CoP is working to develop standards and good practice to ensure consistent high quality resources across the Midlands.

Evaluation Community of Practice

The Evaluation CoP met on 26th Jan and had a great presentation from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG, who presented their framework for reaching decisions about what should be evaluated, the resource required, and the approach that should be taken.

Our next meeting is on 29th March, do come and join us.
