Implementation Science and Knowledge Translation
Research often takes years to reach everyday care. Implementation science studies how to move proven practices into routine use, and knowledge translation is the work of sharing and applying that evidence.
At Nursing Science 2027, this research is presented mainly in the evidence based nursing session. Researchers and practice leaders share frameworks, strategies and results from real-world implementation.
Key Topics in Implementation Science and Knowledge Translation
- Implementation frameworks and theories
- Barriers and enablers to practice change
- Knowledge translation strategies
- Research utilisation in clinical settings
- Facilitation and practice champions
- Measuring fidelity and sustainability
- Scaling up successful interventions
- Hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies
- De-implementation of low-value care
- Engaging patients and stakeholders
Recent Advances in Implementation Science and Knowledge Translation
Nurse researchers are increasingly using hybrid study designs that test both whether an intervention works and how best to implement it. These approaches are now taught as part of nursing education and research programmes.
Frontline champions and supportive leaders, discussed in nursing leadership, are key to lasting change. Implementation methods are also helping public health programmes spread across regions in community and public health nursing.
Who Should Attend
- Nurse researchers and PhD students
- Practice development and knowledge translation leads
- Clinical nurse specialists
- Quality improvement leads
- Health service managers
- Guideline developers
Why Present Your Implementation Research
Nursing Science 2027 gives you an international audience for implementation and knowledge translation research. You can share what helped evidence stick and connect with colleagues in nursing practice and patient care who apply it daily.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between implementation science and quality improvement?
Quality improvement fixes a local problem. Implementation science studies how to spread proven practices and produces findings others can use.
Can I present a process evaluation?
Yes. Process evaluations of how interventions were delivered are welcome.
Where is Nursing Science 2027?
Nursing Science 2027 takes place at Delta Hotels Heathrow Windsor in London, UK.
