Due to restrictions on travel and public events as a result of Covid-19, this year’s implementation science research conference is being held as a fully virtual conference.
Now in its third year, the 2020 conference will bring together online researchers, policymakers, clinicians, practitioners and service users from around the world.
Together we will share the best ways to implement evidence-based health and social care research within services and systems to improve health and care outcomes.
We are keen to showcase implementation research relevant to the Covid-19 pandemic – for example, work that has supported long-term changes in practice or public health policy.
The virtual conference will feature plenary lectures from leading international researchers.
Dr John Øvretveit, director of research and professor of healthcare innovation implementation and evaluation at the Medical Management Centre, The Karolinska Institute, Stockholm. John will discuss: Improve-mentation for an effective response to Covid-19 – the Swedish experience
Jessica Read, deputy chief midwifery officer, NHS England, who has extensive experience over a 30- year career of implementing organisational change and service improvement. Jessica will discuss: The challenges and successes of implementing policy into practice and the impact of Covid-19
Dave Taylor from The Patients Association, an expert in implementing digital health technologies. Dave will discuss: Patient perspectives on uses and abuses of IT in healthcare
