Principal Investigator: Fran Toye (Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (NOC), Oxford Hospitals NHS Trust

Co-investigators:: Kate Seers University of Warwick, Karen Barker (NOC).

Funder: NIHR HS&DR Research Programme

Start date: 1 Nov 2015 for 18 months

Description: This qualitative systematic review aims to increase understanding of what it is like for health care professional to work with people who have chronic pain. This will complement our completed meta ethnography what it is like to have chronic pain. It will bringing together published qualitative research which explores health care professionals’ experiences of working with people who have chronic non-malignant pain. It will do this using the methods of meta-ethnography, which is an interpretative process which aims to develop new conceptual understandings.

4) FIRE Study (Facilitating Implementation of Research Evidence)

Funder: European Commission.

Start date: January 2009 End date: June 2013.

PI: Kate Seers

Collaborating Institutions on bid: Karolinksa Institute, Sweden; University of Alberta, Canada; University of Bangor; University of Ulster; Fontys University, Netherlands; Manchester Business School, University College Cork.

Description: This a pragmatic randomised controlled trial, with embedded process and economic evaluation, taking place in four European countries. It aims to increase understanding about the role of different types of facilitation in implementing research evidence into practice. It is looking specifically at using continence recommendations in long term settings. Its objectives are to: 1) Extend current knowledge of facilitation as a process for translating research evidence into practice; 2) Evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different models of facilitation in promoting the uptake of research evidence on continence management; 3) Assess the impact of contextual factors on the processes and outcomes of implementation; 4) Implement a pro-active knowledge transfer and dissemination strategy to diffuse study findings to a wide policy and practice community.

Controlled Trials ISRCTN11598502.
