Implementation Science Health Conference Australia 2021

Health systems continue to be challenged by systematic differences in the health status and outcomes of different population groups.

Addressing these systematic differences and improving health outcomes for different populations requires effective and tailored implementation of innovation, not just the innovation itself.

Implementation science provides a deeper understanding of how interventions succeed in different contexts, so that they can be more effectively delivered to everyone, at scale, and work to reduce health inequities.

Join national and international experts in implementation science, health equity and health systems research to explore how implementation science can be harnessed to produce better health outcomes, for all.
