Knowledge Translation in Health Care is a practical
introduction to knowledge translation for everyone working and
learning within health policy and funding agencies, and as
researchers, clinicians and trainees. Using everyday examples, it
explains how to use research findings to improve health care in
real life.

This new second edition defines the principles and practice of
knowledge translation and outlines strategies for successful
knowledge translation in practice and policy making. It includes
relevant real world examples and cases of knowledge translation in
action that are accessible and relevant for all stakeholders
including clinicians, health policy makers, administrators,
managers, researchers, clinicians and trainees.

From an international expert editor and contributor team, and fully
revised to reflect current practice and latest developments within
the field, Knowledge Translation in Health Care is the
practical guide for all health policy makers and researchers,
clinicians, trainee clinicians, medical students and other
healthcare professionals seeking to improve healthcare
practice.
