Webcast Recording: From Plan to Action: Developing Implementation Strategies for Implementation Success

Recorded on October 29, 2024, 63 minutes in length.

Featuring Dr Heather Shepherd BA (Hons) RN DipHE PhD, Senior Lecturer, Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of Medicine and Health; Theme Lead, Evidence for Practice, Central Sydney (Patyegarang) Precinct; Co-Lead, Implementation Science Academy, Sydney Health Partners

This webinar will take a deep dive into what we mean and how we choose implementation strategies. This will help us to understand and articulate the different outcomes of interest for those passionate about translating research into practice.  Implementation science is about the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and evidence-based practices.  Those methods are the strategies we use to respond to human behaviour, organizational inertia, infrastructure and resource constraints. 

Four key learning outcomes of this webinar:

• Understand what is meant by implementation strategies. ​
• Identify key implementation strategies used in implementation science, and why?​
• Understand the importance of matching strategies to barriers and enablers. ​
• Identify ways to measure and report implementation success
