| Abstrakt: | Why you should read this article: • To gain insight into a community of practice for research • To see how a community of research practice is applied in a Children's Care Group • To learn about the benefits and challenges of a community of practice for research Background: A community of research practice (CRP) was established to increase research capacity and provide learning opportunities and networking for healthcare practitioners, working within a Children's Care Group. The CRP aimed to engage research-interested practitioners in research to develop their skills and confidence, encourage networking, and build research capacity. Aim: To report the results of a service evaluation that was undertaken to review the CRP's value in practice. Discussion: Thematic analysis revealed four themes – 'positive environment', 'confidence', 'professional development' and 'networking' – highlighting benefits from the CRP, alongside the challenges encountered. Conclusion: This article highlights the significant contribution of CRP for practitioners in the context of an innovative organisation with a supportive culture. Implications for practice: A CRP empowers healthcare practitioners to engage with research while in clinical practice, enabling increased research confidence, and the development of research skill and knowledge and enhanced networking. CRP can potentially influence recruitment and retention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
