Training | Implementing for Impact | 27 March 2024

In this session of our lunch and learn series on implementation & impact, Dr Kristian Hudson, Implementation Specialist from NIHR Yorkshire & Humber Applied Research Collaboration, joins us to talk about implementing for impact: garnering a more realistic approach to implementation research in healthcare.

Despite our best efforts, research findings have not been great at telling us how to sustain and upscale evidence-based interventions in healthcare. There are always a few factors that prevent long-term sustainment and widescale scale-up. Kiss-of-death variables such as financial constraints, time restrictions, and an increasingly complex healthcare system can all make implementation difficult.

In this session, Kristian describes some essential implementation research approaches that allow us to deal with complexity and these challenging contextual factors. He uses use real-world case studies to demonstrate how we can carry out transformative implementation research that achieves impact.
