Health services and implementation research

Arthritis Research UK organised a one day research strategy meeting of invited attendees to inform Arthritis Research UK policy on supporting research into the impact of health policy and the process whereby research advances should be implemented in order to improve the management of patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

The invited attendees included:

  • Health service researchers (HSR), both those with an interest in musculoskeletal disorders as well as those with methodological expertise
  • Health care professionals
  • Representatives from patient organisations, particularly Arthritis Care

The major aim of the meeting was for Arthritis Research UK to outline a strategy for considering how best to translate the results of the basic and clinical research it funds into changing practice, where appropriate.
