Implementation Science is the study of methods to promote the systematic integration of research findings and evidence into healthcare policy and practice.

The course will be of interest to all those who have responsibility for delivery and implementation of policies within their workplace. The course is designed to cater for the needs of EU and non-EU students. Its content will be underpinned by innovative research into the approaches that work best in the translation of research evidence to practice in those sectors.
