Implementation
Welcome to the home of the implementation science team! We make up part of the Improvement Academy and form the implementation arm of the NIHR ARC Yorkshire and Humber (YH ARC). We provide implementation support to a variety of stakeholders. Whether it is healthcare professionals wanting to plan for implementation or researchers wanting to know the best way to study and evaluate implementation, we are here to help.
As demand for implementation support continues to increase across the YH ARC we are supporting multiple projects at any one time across many different contexts including primary and secondary care, nurseries, schools and out in the local community.
