Translational framework for implementation evaluation and research: implementation strategies derived from normalization process theory #impsci implementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

New implementation strategy taxonomy, grounded in Normalization Process Theory - terrific work led by @carlrmay.bsky.social and band - I enjoyed and am proud of having played second fiddle 🙃 #ImpSci #NPT

I am very happy to share that I have been promoted to full research Professor at @northumbriauni.bsky.social in Public Health & Knowledge Mobilisation from 1 September 😊 I believe that research is a deeply collaborative effort with many partners, including those outside of academia; therefore I 1/3

Many congratulations to Leah Buhrmann for passing her Viva today with minor corrections. 🥳 And many thanks to the always excellent examiners @annetteboaz.bsky.social and Leah Avery. @sebastianpotthoff.bsky.social @tracyfinch.bsky.social @northumbriauni.bsky.social @nihrarcs.bsky.social

Have you seen the updated @theeef.bluesky.social A School's Guide to Implementation? The guidance helps educators select, and embed, evidence-informed approaches in line with their vision for improvement. educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-ev...

Fern Harvey’s fab poster presentation of her systematic review on process evaluations for complex intervention trials. Better reporting of context, mechanisms of action and fidelity would enable greater learning about successful interventions #ImpSci #EIE2025 @au-primarycareuol.bsky.social

@tracyfinch.bsky.social presents results of a study of the use of NOMAD NPT tool in published studies- concluding the measures are both psychometrically sound and pragmatic. NOMAD has been used in different ways - measuring, describing, predicting and measuring #EIE2025 @carlrmay.bsky.social

Leaving the beautiful North East after a fantastic #EIE2025 conference - thanks to the organisers and fantastic contributors 👏

@harrietkoorts.bsky.social brings insights on the messy business of scaling up #EIE2025

@carlrmay.bsky.social gives his keynote speech at #EIE2025. @circul.bsky.social @implementeic.bsky.social

Importance of Trust in implementation #EIE2025

The #EIE2025 has officially started! Leah and Bianca welcoming us all to two days of implementation discussion, insights and shared learning. @circul.bsky.social

Second keynote by Anette Boaz at #EIE2025 emphasis that implementation is deeply relational work with adaptive relational implementation strategies having the most impact on policy.

The Samurai Bear, the superhero of #impsci and a friend of @carlrmay.bsky.social, had a very important message at the #EIE2025: “TRUST is the glue that links people, things and their contexts”. @implementeic.bsky.social

So excited for this! And especially since we are (finally) welcoming everyone to Newcastle for the conference this week! 🙌🏼

It feels exciting and strange to be named as one of the advice sources in this network analysis. I have learned a lot from the central actors in #impsci , many mentioned here and many more not. The field is evolving and peer mentorship and support is what makes this community lively and connected.

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
