Implementation in the real world of aged and community care

Bolton Clarke Research Institute - Symposium 2024 

It takes an average of 17 years for research evidence to reach practice - and even then, only one in five interventions makes it to routine clinical care. So how can we help bridge the gap between what we know and what we do?

On 22nd March 2024, the Bolton Clarke Research Institute hosted esteemed national and international speakers for a Virtual Symposium, as they shared knowledge and discussed the complexities and opportunities for implementation of evidence into practice in the aged care sector.

Recordings from the event are available below or via the playlist.
