People working together around a table

A community for research connection

Stay connected before a specific study opens.

The Research Community of Practice brings people together to discuss research, exchange ideas and help evidence stay connected to real lives, professional practice and participation.

Why join?

A wider route into the research community.

This page is different from Research Participant Calls, which lists specific studies seeking participants. The Research Community of Practice is an ongoing space for dialogue, reflection and shared learning.

Hear about opportunities

Receive proportionate information when a verified study, consultation or co-production opportunity may be relevant.

Bring lived and practice knowledge

Help questions, language and priorities remain connected to the people, occupations, relationships and services involved.

Choose your involvement

There is no expectation to join every project. You decide whether each separate invitation is right for you.

Join the wider Communities of Practice

Research develops through relationships, discussion and shared reflection. Explore the wider Communities of Practice, or begin with a free Coffee & Chat session. A specific study will always provide its own separate invitation and consent process.
