Please come along or join us online to listen to Professor Jeremy Grimshaw’s seminar on ‘Building the scientific basis to support implementation to improve services and outcomes’.
Evidence-practice gaps are pervasive across all aspects of healthcare and all healthcare systems globally. Implementation science aims to develop tools and resources for healthcare systems and organisations attempting to close evidence-practice gaps. Professor Grimshaw’s presentation will provide an overview of implementation science, progress to date and current challenges.

He trained as a family physician prior to undertaking a PhD in health services research at the University of Aberdeen. He moved to Canada in 2002.

Prof. Grimshaw is a Senior Scientist, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, a Full Professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Ottawa and held a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Health Knowledge Transfer and Uptake (2002-2022).
