Implementation Research and Improvement Science

Qualitative research is used in Implementation Science work as a valuable method to understand the experience and preferences of all stakeholders involved. This is crucial to understanding how new initiatives or changes to practice are experienced and if they will meet their aims. The Centre for Implementation Science at IOPPN/KCL has researchers working on projects across health and social care. QUAHRC expertise includes how to use qualitative methods in Implementation Science research; explore some of our existing projects in this area below.
