ISTI 2024
Irish Implementation Science Training Institute 2024
The Implementation Science Training Institute (ISTI) took place at Nano Nagle Place from July 1st to 3rd hosted by Dr Sheena McHugh and the research team from the Health Implementation Research Hub at UCC’s School of Public Health.
Twenty-six PhD students, post researchers, academics, health professionals and service managers participated in the in-person training. This year we hosted participants from across Ireland, England, the US and Australia who are carrying out health and social care research projects across a range of settings from primary care, hospital settings, community settings and the Irish prison service. Topics ranged from diabetes management, neonatal care, kidney transplantation, mental health and dementia.
The training programme was facilitated by national and international leaders in implementation science including Byron Powell, Rachel Shelton, Rinad Beidas, Geoff Curran, Justin Presseau, Jonathon Purtle, Bianca Albers, Sheena McHugh, Michael Sykes and Jenny Mc Sharry. The course was coordinated by Tania McCollum from the School of Public Health.
The Implementation Science Training Institute (ISTI) is a blended training programme. Participants completed online training modules from February to July, and then participated in a series of in-person activities including:
- Lectures from leaders in the field with case studies focusing on application of concepts, theories and methods.
- Small group work and project feedback from our expert facilitators
- Q&A and panel discussions with international experts
- Mentoring opportunities
The Implementation Science Training Institute (ISTI) is funded by the Health Research Board Research Leader Award held by Dr Sheena McHugh, Senior Lecturer at the School of Public Health and programme director.
