In this episode of the Essential Implementation Podcast, Kristian speaks with Dr Harriet, an expert researcher in scaling health interventions from Deakin University.
They unpack one of public health’s toughest challenges: how to move from small, successful trials to sustainable, equitable impact at scale. The discussion explores why scaling isn’t just about expansion, but about systems, relationships, politics, and trust. From leverage points and adaptation to the risks of over-simplification, this episode provides practical insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working to embed evidence into complex systems.
