(Ranade & Hudson 2004, p. 45)

Skills and confidence in..
• Research• Methodologies• Data collection methods• Analysis• Working across
disciplines• Communication• Co-production with
patients/ members of the public IN research
• Understanding different sides of the research - practice divide
• Use of language• Knowledge
mobilisation• Negotiation
www.clahrc-yh.nihr.ac.uk
Building skills and confidenceFor individuals• ‘Learning by doing’
opportunities• Fellowships• Secondments• Internships• Clinical academic pathways
and other pathways• Career planning• Posts with improvement/
research in them
Enablers• Work with managers• CLAHRC and matched
funding arrangements• Research champions• Mentorship/ coaching• Job descriptions with
Research/ innovations

A wicked problem..
• ‘managers have little experience of supporting clinical academic pathways.
• The NHS career structures for clinical academic posts are inconsistent at best, and none existent as the norm.
• practitioners had poor, shifting or no support from clinical managers

Making an impact
• ‘integrated’ knowledge transfer
• Write for peer reviewed publications but think of the long story: how can you tell your research has had an impact on practice?

Actionable dissemination• .. ‘a product informed by research study
findings that is intended to change the way of thinking, promote decision making or instigate action around an issue’
Characterised by:
• RESEARCH KNOWLEDGE : you can recognise the research findings within the tool.

to communicating the findings shows consideration of the target audience, and how they prefer to receive information.
• PROMPT: the tool invites the target audience
to reflect on the research findings and triggers appropriate action within the local setting.

on investment• PROM• Service specification• Check lists• Clinical prompts
