About the Implementation Science Masterclass
The Implementation Science Masterclass will include lectures from world-renowned experts in the field of implementation science, small group workshops facilitated by leading researchers, and advice clinics to help you work more effectively on your own implementation projects. It will include an advanced stream for those with more experience in the field or who have previously attended the course.
Lectures will include:
- Introductions to the field of implementation science, including its history and background
- Advanced lectures on theories, models and frameworks
- Hybrid designs which measure effectiveness and implementation concurrently.
Interactive workshops will include:
- How to implement evidence-based practices in the context of differing values from a public health perspective
- Implementing learning healthcare systems at scale
- Advanced quantitative methods for mechanism analysis in implementation science
- How to publish implementation research.
International experts will provide short lectures on the topics above. These lectures will be followed by question and answer sessions and then group workshops, which will be based on the lectures. Please note: the final curriculum is to be confirmed. The course is CPD Accredited.
