Online CoPs act as a collective pool for knowledge sharing and a reference for pre-appraised evidence.

A CoP allows HVs as a group to engage in building knowledge that is at the heart of everyday practice.

Overtime this virtual space pools together the range of knowledge that HVs have at their disposal.

And at the same time offering a mentoring platform for students and newly qualified HVs.

When sustained and effectively facilitated online CoPs facilitate an empowering discourse for HVs.

In the end online CoPs equip HVs with peer reviewed knowledge that prioritises clients' needs.
