Translational research bridges the gap between research and practice, helping healthcare professionals turn evidence into action.   

This twelve week, Level 9 micro-credential is for Allied Health professionals who want to lead or contribute to projects that implement evidence-based change.  

You’ll explore what translational research means in a healthcare setting and how to move from identifying a clinical problem to designing and applying a solution.   

This module covers implementation science, comparative effectiveness research, guideline development, and participatory approaches including public and patient involvement (PPI).  

Throughout the module you’ll build practical skills in research ethics, project planning and dissemination and learn how to embed knowledge translation into every stage of your inquiry.  

This module is associated with Healthcare Practice - Professional Doctorate. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
