IHP Communities of Practice

The IHP CoPs are are a member-driven initiative, led by dedicated IHP volunteers from teams across the province. They provide resources, advice and opportunities for your staff, helping them improve their performance which in turn benefits the whole team.

Benefits of participation in a community of practice:

  • Online community of primary care professionals working in similar roles in teams across the province:
    • Sharing best practices and experiences; relevant updates; information on program and client-focused resources
    • Mentoring of new professionals by established peers
  • Networking sessions at AFHTO’s annual conference
    •   According to evaluation results, in-person IHP networking is consistently considered one of the most valuable opportunities for networking and learning

How to sign up for a community of practice:

Each network has a listserv and online forum. Our community of practice leads, all within the FHT/NPLC community, have volunteered to create and maintain these to exchange knowledge and share best practices with their peers. Team members can join a CoP by sending an e-mail with their name, FHT/NPLC and e-mail address to their group’s email address (hyperlinked in the list below).
