How do you go from evidence to action in patient-oriented research?

Knowledge translation plays an important role in maximizing the impact of health research. Studies have shown only 14% of health research findings enter day-to-day practice, with a gap of 17 to 20 years between discovery and implementation.

Join the first in a series of four workshops to support your understanding and use of knowledge translation skills for improving the use of your health research. You’ll get practical tips, resources and examples from guest speaker Alison Hoens.

The theme of the first workshop will be “Developing a KT strategy: How do you go from evidence to action in patient-oriented research?

If you’re not able to attend the workshop in person, you can join in at one of the other videoconference locations:

  • Richmond Hospital – Room 1908
  • Lions Gate Hospital – Room 2506

I was thrilled to discover the Patient Voices Network, where the array of places to be the voice of a patient is vast and incredibly interesting. Besides my ongoing “gig” with the BC Emergency Medicine Network, I have enjoyed being involved in several one-off initiatives. I love working with professionals who genuinely value the perspectives of their patient partners.
