Join our active community of practice
There is a strong emphasis on leadership by the community, learning from each other and sharing what works. It is a community that welcomes both experienced participants and those who have not previously used insights but who would like to find out more. Our events usually take place in May and November each year.
Community Teams site
We also have a community Teams site which is available to staff who work in organisations subscribed to the digital experience insights service. The aim is to facilitate sharing of effective practice, problem solving and collaboration between service users and create a space where challenges and any special interests of the group can also be discussed. We also hope it will help the us to better understand community needs and inform service development.
Joining the Teams site is easy – just follow the QR code link below or complete our registration request form and the community facilitators will be in touch to welcome you and give you access.
We have prepared a welcome pack to help you get on board and find your way around.
