Community of practice (CoP)

A Community of Practice is a group of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis.

- Wenger et al., 2002

Join our CoP

Living with chronic respiratory disease(s) and other long-term conditions can feel overwhelming, especially when care is fragmented and support does not always connect in the way people need it to.

The MULTIPULM Community of Practice is here to help change that. It brings together patients, informal carers, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers and other local stakeholders to share experiences, learn from each other, and work together on better ways to deliver more connected, people-centred care.

By creating space for honest exchange and collaboration, the Community of Practice helps ensure that MULTIPULM’s solutions are shaped by real needs, real challenges and real lives.

People with Multiple Conditions

People living with multiple long-term conditions, including at least one chronic respiratory disease, are at the heart of MULTIPULM’s Community of Practice. Their lived experience helps ground the project in real life, from what makes care feel fragmented to what kind of support, information and tools would genuinely make day-to-day management easier and more empowering.

Research & academic stakeholders

Researchers, medical experts, university departments, and research institutes help bring evidence, methods, and critical reflection into the Community of Practice. They play an important role in understanding what works, why it works, and how lessons from the pilots can inform stronger practice, future research, and wider adoption.

Informal carers

Informal carers such as family members, partners, or close supporters often play a crucial role in helping people manage symptoms, appointments, treatment routines, and everyday wellbeing. Their perspective is essential because they see the practical challenges of care up close and can help identify what support systems need to work better at home and beyond it.

Policymakers & health authorities

This includes health ministries, local and regional authorities, advisors, health economists, and other decision-makers. Their role in the Community of Practice is vital because they help connect local experience with system-level change, including questions of feasibility, sustainability, policy uptake, and how integrated care approaches can continue beyond the project.

Healthcare professionals

This group includes doctors, nurses, care coordinators, specialists, pharmacists, nutritionists, psychologists, and other professionals involved in care delivery. In MULTIPULM, healthcare professionals are essential for understanding what is needed for more coordinated care, better monitoring, improved follow-up, and smoother integration of digital tools into routine practice.
