Thanks to all who attended our annual Conference in early July in Nottingham. We had a fantastic conference with more than 260 delegates, who over two stimulating days presented and witnessed 80 presentations and workshops and over 100 posters focused on UK and global health services and systems research. We are launching this resources page with blogs, presentations and abstracts for you and your colleagues to revisit some of the excellent content of our event.

DECIDE guide on using evidence for innovation
The DECIDE guide on using evidence for innovation was introduced at the 2018 HSRUK conference workshop on “Translating academic findings into practical guidance to support healthcare improvement”. The guidance comes from the “DEcisions in health Care to Introduce or Diffuse innovations using Evidence” (DECIDE) study. The guidance is aimed at anyone concerned with informing or making decisions about introducing or spreading innovations within the NHS. More about this resource here.
