Implementation Science researchers within the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) & The Institute for Health Transformations’ (IHT) Quality and Patient Safety Research domain are collaborating to deliver a series of Implementation Science webinars throughout 2021 & 2022.

At the end of the session, participants will have gained a basic understanding of:

• Definitions and key characteristics of implementation science and implementation research;
• Types of research evidence utilised in implementation research;
• How implementation research fits within the research pipeline;
• How theories, models and frameworks are utilised in implementation science;
• Study designs used in implementation research;
• Implementation outcomes of interest in implementation research.
