About this short course

This one-day short course will guide health care professionals to engage with implementation science principles and frameworks, and support those who wish to engage in evidence-based sustainable health care improvement.

The content of this short course will cover:

  • What is implementation science
  • Why is it important
  • How is implementation science carried out

The importance of collaboration and stakeholder engagement is a point of focus.

The course is based on current literature and the authors’ experience as researchers in the field.

Who should do this course?

This short course is for health professionals, researchers, policy makers, advocates, and administrators interested in expanding their knowledge and skillset in implementation science, to support evidence-based practice in the health system.

What you will learn

We use an interactive approach to teach the skills and knowledge required to implement research findings and best practice.

On completion of this short course, you will:

  1. have gained knowledge of implementation science concepts and frameworks.
  2. be able to identify how implementation science can promote the sustainable uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice.
  3. be able to identify frameworks and methods used in implementation science.
  4. have practical knowledge to apply implementation science in your workplace.

The short course provides practical tools to enable you to support the implementation of research evidence into policy and practice including collaboration, engagement, evaluation, implementation theory and behaviour change.
