Focus Area 5
Research evidence
utilisation and
knowledge transfer
• Increase dialogue between and within organisations to
consider the best approach to implementation and knowledge
transfer responsive to local needs.
• Build the capacity of staff and service users and carers for
greater dissemination of research locally, nationally and
internationally using a range of innovative technologies.
• Make research relevant to practice teams using Research
Highlights or Short Snapshots of Research Evidence.
• Use innovation and creative technology to design accessible
products to allow easy access to the research evidence
base e.g. portals, hubs, and catalogue of evidence.
• Maximise opportunities to review, utilise and
disseminate research undertaken via the Professional
in Practice framework.
• Create and provide opportunities for learning and
development such as a Hub or e-Learning Hub
or Podcasts.
• Develop knowledge and skills in identifying relevant
research, appraising research quality, synthesising
findings and translating clear messages into
practice and management of services.
• Create awareness of the various types of research
evidence needs (qualitative, quantitative and
experimental) to evidence the effectiveness of service
interventions to make a difference to people's lives.
• Develop understandings across agencies to inform
practice, management, policy, regulation and teaching.
• Ensure evidence is located in wider literature, international
and across disciplinary boundaries for comprehensive
understanding and relevance.
