Project summary

The research group has several projects associated with the implementation of evidence-based practice into the specialist health services. A common theme for all projects is that they focus explicitly on the implementation of evidence-based practice into clinical practice. This helps to create a knowledge base to ensure that the services offered are in line with the best available evidence , and to contribute to the development of new implementation strategies.

Research areas include:

  • Implementation of evidence-based practice into organsations

  • Systematic reviews related to specific clinical issues

  • Preparation and implementation of clinical procedures and guidelines

  • Studies that map knowledge of, and attitudes towards, evidence-based practice

  • Research on quality
