Community of Practice

PHN-PREP supports two virtual Communities of Practice (CoPs) that are hosted through a WordPress platform:

  1. PHN-PREP – membership is open to Healthy Babies Healthy Children or Nurse-Family Partnership public health nurses
  2. NCAST PCI Instructor (HBHC NPI) – membership is open to Ontario NCAST PCI Instructors only

The goals of the Communities of Practice are to create a virtual space for Ontario public health nurses and supervisors to: 

  • Explore new ideas, ask questions about nursing practice, and meet colleagues from across the province
  • Share innovative resources and practices that have been developed within their local health unit
  • Highlight and celebrate public health nursing innovations and accomplishments

How to Access the Programs

NCAST PCI Instructors will be invited to join the HBHC NPI CoP by the Ontario Parent-Child Relationship Program Nursing Practice Lead.

For those wishing to join the PHN-PREP CoP, please contact [email protected] to request an account. Once you have been set-up as a user, you will be instructed to navigate to https://community.phnprep.ca and to use the Forgot Password function.

You will then be asked to enter your email address and will be sent instructions for re-setting your password. Please note that the email with instructions may go to a junkmail folder, or you may have to ask your IT department to safelist emails from [email protected].
