Third Irish Implementation Science Training Institute Seminar takes place in UCC
Led by Dr Sheena McHugh and the Health Implementation Research Hub (HIRH).
Following a very successful seminar, we wish to thank the facilitators, speakers, HIRH staff, staff at Nano Nagle Place & UCC, and @hrbireland who collaborated to make this seminar possible.
We are thankful to the participants & hope you expanded your knowledge of implementation science.
Prof Ella Arensman, Head of School of Public Health, said: "I would like to congratulate Dr Sheena McHugh, Tania McCollum and all colleagues involved in organising an excellent three-day seminar on behalf of the Health Implementation Research Hub, which they organised for the 3rd subsequent year.
The Seminar was attended by more than 60 delegates, including representatives from the US, Australia and the UK.
Delegates covered a wide range of settings and topics, including primary care, hospital settings, community settings, and the Irish prison service, and health priorities, such as diabetes management, neonatal care, kidney transplantation, mental health and dementia.
The Health Implementation Research Hub fulfils a critical role in increasing capacity building in transferable skills in implementation research across Public Health priorities, and I am delighted to see the increasing global interest.
