Implementation in health care and society

Man hoppar över klyfta i motljus

The Implementation Research Group at Linköping University engages more than a dozen researchers (senior and junior researchers, postdocs, and PhD students) organized by a core team of dedicated researchers.

During the last ten years, Linköping University has generated comprehensive research in implementation science and become an established an implementation science hub in Sweden and the Nordic countries, with extensive collaboration and impact on global level.

Our research

Our research engages researchers from medical, technical and social sciences, encompassing a broad range of implementation projects, e.g. health promotion in primary care, internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy, use of mHealth/eHealth in routine healthcare, organizational and workplace changes and patient participation in implementation processes. We conduct studies in numerous setting such as specialist healthcare, primary care and social care, child and school health care.

PhD-course on Implementation Science

Implementation - Theory and application in health care

The implementation research program at Linköping University offers this highly acclaimed course at postgraduate level, open also for post-doc researchers. The course has been given yearly since 2011. Teachers in the course are from Linköping University and other universities. The course has gained highly favourable course assessments and attracts PhD students from across Sweden and around the world.

This PhD-level course provides a broad introduction to the development of implementation science and the research conducted in this field. The aim is to increase understanding of the challenges of implementation in healthcare and convey in-depth knowledge concerning theories, models and frameworks that are of practical use in the participants’ own implementation research.

The course is taught in English and work is conducted on half-time basis. The course is available on-line or on-site at Linköping University. For those students who choose on-site learning, there are scheduled lectures and group discussions at two occasions at the university. Students who choose on-line learning will be able to access the course during these same dates. Course materials are studied in between meetings.
