Our impact is that we will improve the quality of life and death for people with life-limiting conditions through supporting palliative care research which benefits citizens across the island of Ireland and internationally.
AIIHPC provides guidance and support on maximising research impact on palliative care practice and policy by supporting Palliative Care Research Network and Early Career Researcher Forum members to utilise integrated knowledge translation activities involving all stakeholders from the start. For further information see Knowledge Transfer Exchange Model and Support and Stakeholder Engagement and Funding.
We support AIIHPC member organisations to evaluate the impact of knowledge translation and stakeholder engagement by developing PPI Impact Case Studies using AIIHPC PPI Impact Evaluation Framework and Policy and Practice Case Studies.
If you would like to learn more about how the Institute can support you in developing PPI case studies contact Jane Clare, AIIHPC PCRN Project Manager at jclare@aiihpc.org and Policy and Practice Case Studies Dr Busra Ertugrul, Research Support and Knowledge Translation Lead at bertugrul@aiihpc.org.
