The NEY Regional Faculty of Advanced Practice are excited to announce our new free online Rural and Coastal Community of Practice (COP) for Advanced Practitioners. This initiative has been developed by the NHSE Faculty of Advancing Practice together with a dedicated working group of colleagues from across the region, ensuring it reflects the real experiences and priorities of those working in these unique settings. 

Our purpose is to create a vibrant, supportive space where Advanced Practitioners In the North East and Yorkshire can connect, share expertise, explore rural‑ and coastal‑specific clinical challenges, and strengthen professional networks.

Our first session will be a one‑hour launch event on 18 March, 12:00–13:00, which will introduce the community, outline our aims, and provide an opportunity for colleagues to connect. Following the launch, we have collaborated with the ECHO Project to deliver a series of expert‑guided sessions exploring each of the priority themes in more depth.

Please click here for a poster for the Community of Practice (COP), including a QR code for registration. There is also a separate poster for the ECHO sessions, with its own QR code. Alternatively you can register using the links below. Please note that you must register for both the Community of Practice and the ECHO sessions separately in order to take part.

• COP: Registration Form: Rural & Coastal Community of Practice for Advanced Practitioners – Fill in form
• ECHO Project sessions: ECHO session registration

Whether you are experienced in Advanced Practice or early in your journey, this community is for you. Your insight, enthusiasm, and lived experience will be central to building a strong, collaborative network that supports practitioners and improves outcomes for rural and coastal populations.

I warmly invite you to join us, share your voice, and help shape this exciting new regional community.
