3rd UK Implementation Science Research Conference
Implementation science for health and social care: Maximising relevance for practice and policy
Now being held online as a virtual conference: Thursday 16 July (pm) and Friday 17 July 2020 (all day)
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.
