Practice Development

Since Covid-19 appeared almost two years ago, strategic leaders and academics have offered their wisdom to leaders ‘in the field’ in terms of what worked for them during previous crises. Learning from others’ experiences may be helpful, but the unprecedented nature of the context in which we are living and working has called for innovation, creativity and collaboration, to ‘work things out’. A theme of positivity runs through literature, encouraging leaders to foster hope through being available, listening, responding and showing compassion at a time when there seemed little reason to be positive. Over the difficult period of the pandemic, though, there have been so many stories of close collaborations, person-centred ways of being, helpfulness and kindness, and collaboration is a central theme in this issue of the IPDJ. Over recent months, we have reviewed and refined the aim and scope of the journal, alongside our key stakeholders at the Foundation of Nursing Studies, the International Practice Development Collaborative (IPDC) and the Person-centred Practice International Community of Practice (PCP-ICoP).

The case study features a distributed international Community of Practice (CoP). CoPs are currently playing a major role in Knowledge Management (KM), and as organisations need to operate in a global economy, CoPs are having to function more and more in distributed environments. This chapter provides a context and background for the study by exploring the need for organisations to capitalise on their knowledge.

Public Perspectives

Communities of practice in science communication can make important contributions to public engagement with science but are under-researched. In this article, we look at the perspectives of a community of practice in astronomy communication regarding (relations with) their public(s). Most participants in this study consider that public(s) have several deficits and vulnerabilities. Moreover, practitioners have little to no contact with (and therefore make no use of) academic research on science communication. We argue that collaboration between science communication researchers and practitioners could benefit the science-public relationship and that communities of practice may be critical to that purpose.
