Evidence-based practice, knowledge translation, quality improvement, implementation, change management, research impact - whatever you call it, we all strive to advance care and wellbeing for older people. But innovation and change in our dynamic aged care sector is complex.

In this webinar, experienced implementation researchers will share practical insights gained from conducting and supporting implementation research in aged care.
