What is the webinar about?
This webinar offers a clear and accessible introduction to Implementation Science (IS), a field that studies how to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. Over the course of one hour, the following topics will be covered:
- Key principles of CI.
- Why CI is fundamental to research and health systems
- Tools and conceptual frameworks that enable innovations to be transformed into sustainable impacts.
This activity is specifically designed for researchers, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers interested in implementation science. It is also suitable for professionals from various disciplines working in healthcare research, care, or management.
The following participate in the Breathe Well initiative: the Scientific University of the South in Peru, the University of São Paulo in Brazil and the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, and it is funded by the UK's National Institute of Health Research.
