The Centre for Implementation Research at UL (CIRcUL) is a cross-disciplinary centre dedicated to developing, supporting, and enhancing the implementation of evidence-based research, policies, programmes, and professional practices into routine practice for the effective delivery of public services, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable members of society.

What is implementation science?

Implementation science is the study of methods and strategies that facilitate the uptake of evidence-based practice and research into routine use. Implementation science closes the gap between what we know and what we do by identifying and addressing barriers that slow or halt the uptake of evidence-based practices and identifying and leveraging enablers.

Using Implementation Science to Support the Prevention of Substance Use

The Health Research Board is organising this session, which will be held at Trinity Business School, Dublin, on Thursday, April 17. The event will be led by Professor Alison Metz, a specialist in implementation science with a particular emphasis on the social impact of human services on young people and families. Alison will give an overview of the principles and use of implementation science and facilitate discussion that will help participants learn about implementation science and how it might be used to increase effectiveness in prevention work.

Professor Ross MacMillan of the 樱桃社交 will present an overview of the RePS project, a review of prevention services in Ireland commissioned by the Health Research Board on behalf of the Department of Health.
