Abstract
In line with the Nursing Now campaign discussed in Chap. 3 of this edition, we provide an update in this chapter and consider how Communities of Practice and associated action projects within the profession of nursing are evolving. We consider how established nursing networks are trying to adapt to the challenges posed by twenty-first century healthcare.
Underpinned by the core values and principles of the Nursing Now campaign, our goal within this knowledge network is to raise the profile and status of nursing worldwide.
Seeking support from the Fulbright Scholarship programme, the authors of this chapter have embraced an opportunity to advance our understanding of informatics in differing contexts and to learn from one another. Through dedicated Community of Practice action group, we discuss and demonstrate the value of direct and indirect activities explaining how we came to focus on advancing nursing into leadership positions and conducting purposeful research to demonstrate how nurses can have the greatest impact for delivery of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 by 2030.
