An Introduction to Implementation Science

Course Overview

The course covers the core scientific principles and investigative methodologies of implementation science, including quantitative, qualitative and econometric approaches. It has a strong theoretical underpinning, drawing on theories, frameworks and models that can be used in the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of health and care interventions. Equally, it has a strong practical focus, providing you with ‘take-home’ tools, checklists and other resources that can help you to develop interventions in different health and care settings.


Course Features

This introductory module in implementation science will provide you with the basic knowledge required to conduct implementation research or to apply the implementation theories and frameworks to their practice. The module could be taken as a standalone module.


Course Content

  • Week 1: An introduction to implementation science
  • Week 2: Implementation study design
  • Weeks 3 and 4: Frameworks and theories
  • Week 5: Evaluation topics
  • Week 6: Engaging with stakeholders, scalability and sustainability

Learning Outcomes

  • Demonstrate an awareness of the role of implementation science in health and social care, and critically discuss this in relation to fields such as knowledge translation, translational medicine and healthcare innovation.
  • Distinguish implementation outcomes from clinical efficacy, service and client outcomes.
  • Display a good understanding of the core scientific principles and investigative methodologies of implementation science, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches.
  • Display an in-depth understanding of theories, frameworks and tools for the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of health interventions.
  • Display a foundational understanding of the application of hybrid designs in applied health research.
  • Develop an appreciation of different implementation approaches and strategies for different implementation research questions.

Entry Requirements

This introductory course is aimed at health and social care professionals, researchers, patients and service users who want to make sure health and social care services routinely offer treatment and care that is based on the most recent clinical evidence and best practice standards.
