The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula Knowledge Mobilisation programme focuses on building capacity and capability and mobilising evidence across these priority areas:
- Emergency Care
- Mental Health
- Maternity and Early Childhood
- Cancer
- Dementia and Frailty
The main approaches of the knowledge mobilisation team are:
- Knowledge Mobilisation Fellowships: Equivalent of two full time Fellowships for the programme duration (individual Fellowships lasting 18 or 36 months), with flexible personalised training and support to equip them to lead knowledge mobilisation work across organisations.
- Capacity Building: Develop knowledge mobilisation skills in individuals and organisations, aligning with their organisation’s strategic aims.
- Support and Training: Provided by the Implementation Team, the Health Innovation Network, and funded external training, with public involvement input.
- Flexible Arrangements: Part-time secondments and senior manager engagement to ensure organisational participation and recognition.
- Collaboration: Work with Fellows from other Applied Research Collaborations to build a broader community of practice and share knowledge mobilisation experiences.
- System-Level Change: Aim for lasting impact on the health and social care system through developed skills and strategic relationships.
This approach aims to build knowledge mobilisation capacity, foster leadership, and achieve system-level change through collaborative and flexible Fellowships.
