Our mission & purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Across the four nations of the United Kingdom, the Society’s primary mission and purpose is to build capacity and expertise for more effective, evidence-informed implementation of services for people and communities. We cover all kinds of services, whether in health, social care, education, criminal justice, family support, or any other public services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Our objective is: The advancement of the science and practice of implementation for the public benefit, by:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- championing and promoting knowledge about the importance of high quality implementation for improving outcomes from services<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- building understanding of effective implementation by collating, developing and disseminating knowledge resources on implementation science, practice and policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- building capacity and skills by supporting, organising and hosting learning, training and education on implementation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- establishing mechanisms, structures and networks that facilitate connections and share learning between those working in the field<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- supporting the development of the evidence base on effective implementation of services to people;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- supporting the mobilisation and application of implementation evidence and knowledge in policy and in practice in other appropriate ways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
