This course is designed as a self-paced learning experience, enabling you to build foundational capability in implementation science in a way that fits your schedule and professional commitments.

The content is organised into a series of modules that progressively build your understanding, from core principles through to applying implementation science in complex, real-world settings.

To maximise your learning, we encourage you to reflect on a current project, challenge or idea for change, consider how the concepts apply within your own context, and engage actively with the course activities and reflections.

The course modules are grouped across three core areas:

It is suitable for individuals at any level who are involved in, or aspiring to support or lead, change initiatives within their organisation.

No prior experience or formal training in implementation science is required.

Through this course, you will develop a practical understanding of implementation science and how to apply it to support meaningful, sustainable change in real-world settings.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Understand core implementation science concepts, principles, theories and frameworks.
• Apply implementation thinking to real-world practice and improvement challenges.
• Identify and adapt implementation strategies to suit different contexts and stakeholder needs.
• Recognise the influence of context, systems and diverse perspectives when planning change.
• Approach evaluation as part of implementation, including what works, for whom and in what settings.
