UK Mental Health 2.0 2011 Communities of Practice Vs The Status Quo
My experience is the context • 2004 - 2005 • Grass roots development • Managing mental health services • Messing about with ‘social media’ stuff • Lack of local knowledge & info for mental health service users • Positioned myself
Community of Practice • A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession. The group can evolve naturally because of the members' common interest in a particular domain or area, or it can be created specifically with the goal of gaining knowledge related to their field. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that the members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop themselves personally and professionally (Lave & Wenger 1991).

But this is all service related isn’t it? It didn’t start like that. This is all about Power and Control. But then, it always is.

How do you legislate for sustainability in a fast changing economic world? • Observing independent models, journalistic models • Understanding ‘failure’ • Getting the principles – and not getting tied to the platform or Political understanding • Economic drivers • How it relates to what you will be doing – what is your role? Where do you sit in this picture?
