Discover Two Exciting Upcoming Events Sponsored by the Health Implementation Research Hub

Featuring Dr Sarah Hunter鈥檚 Visiting Scholar Seminar and the Knowledge Translation Clinic

Dr Hunter is as a Senior Research Fellow in Implementation Science and Systems within the Caring Futures Institute at Flinders 福利1000在线 in Adelaide, South Australia. Sarah's research focuses on understanding the complex and diverse ways in which caregivers enact child rearing, the challenges they face, and the support they need to overcome them. Through an integrated Knowledge Translation approach, her research develops, in partnership with caregivers, practical and feasible strategies that can be implemented to support Australian adults in their caregiving role. Sarah also leads the Flinders Implementation and Translation Academy which aims to build researcher capacity in knowledge translation and implementation science. She recently published a textbook 鈥淣avigating Knowledge Translation in Health and Care鈥� which underpins the Academy鈥檚 approach. She also leads the continual refinement of the integrated-Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework. The i-PARIHS framework is a conceptual framework that aims to represent the dynamic interplay of factors that influence successful implementation of evidence into practice.

Sarah is a close collaborator of and  within the School of Public Health in 福利1000在线 College Cork.  They currently collaborate on the HRB funded SCOPE project (Standardised Measurement for Childhood Obesity Prevention).

Dr. Rachel Flynn is a Lecturer at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, 福利1000在线 College Cork. She completed a PhD in Nursing (implementation science and knowledge translation) at the 福利1000在线 of Alberta and a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Postdoctoral Fellowship at SickKids, Toronto and 福利1000在线 of Alberta. Prior to UCC, she was an Assistant Professor at the 福利1000在线 of Alberta, where she conducted over a decade of research in implementation science and knowledge translation. 

She leads the Sustaining Innovations in Child Health (STITCH) programme, focused on the implementation, scaling, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions across child health. Her research uses an integrated knowledge translation approach, alongside implementation science and realist evaluation, to co-produce evidence that drives measurable impact across practice, policy, and health systems. 

Dr. Christine Cassidy is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at Dalhousie 福利1000在线 and a Clinician Scientist at IWK Health, in Nova Scotia, Canada. She completed a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Health System Impact Postdoctoral Fellowship at IWK Health and the 福利1000在线 of Ottawa with the Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Research Network. 

She is co-Director of the Strengthening Transitions in Care Lab and Scientific Lead of Maritime Child Health, a pediatric Learning Health System based at IWK Health in Nova Scotia, Canada. Her research program uses an integrated knowledge translation approach to co-produce, implement, and evaluate knowledge translation interventions within health systems. Dr. Cassidy鈥檚 work focuses on bridging the implementation science-to-practice gap by building capacity in implementation science methods and advancing understanding of how to implement and sustain evidence in practice and policy.
