The UKPRP Community of Practice aims to share and exchange knowledge and learning from across all the funded Consortia and Networks The UKPRP Community of Practice aims to share and exchange knowledge and learning from across all the funded Consortia and Networks Image The UK Prevention Research Partnership (UKPRP) has awarded funding for a Community of Practice (CoP) to provide a structured mechanism for sharing learning and development across UKPRP-funded consortia and networks, interdisciplinary collaborations which address challenges in the primary prevention of non-communicable diseases. The aim of the researcher-led Community of Practice is to co-develop practice, current thinking, and supporting resources in areas of shared interest in order to enhance the effectiveness and societal impact of both UKPRP-funded and wider prevention research. The CoP will improve ways of working, generate learning and support impact on prevention research, policy and practice beyond that which could be achieved by each funded group acting alone.
