Our key takeaways...

In addition to the sharing sessions, informative exhibits were set-up, and a school tour allowed the participants to witness firsthand NYP's strengths and capabilities. As a testament to its success, over 20 partners have expressed keen interest in exploring further collaborations, setting the stage for future initiatives in the community care landscape.

The event has provided opportunities for our staff to connect with industry experts and share best practices, which in turn can inform their teaching, research, and consulting work.

Furthermore, this event has played a pivotal role in fostering a collective realization among community care stakeholders of the need for a unified effort in establishing a community of practice for the community care sector. This underscores that the event did not only promote awareness but also helped drive a positive change and collaboration within the industry.
