This webinar explores how embedding implementation science in clinical trials can bridge the gap between research and practice, increasing the likelihood that effective interventions are adopted, scaled and sustained. Through expert insights and a real-world case study, learn how embedding implementation science within clinical trials can enhance study design, support effective trial conduct, and generate insights that facilitate translation into practice. Learn why consumer involvement is essential in implementation-focused research and gain practical strategies for embedding these approaches.
The webinar will conclude with an interactive Q&A, providing participants with the opportunity to discuss their own clinical trials, explore practical approaches to embedding implementation science within trial design, and gain valuable insights into developing competitive grant applications that integrate implementation science from the outset. So come prepared with your questions and make the most of this opportunity to learn from experts and peers in the field.
Presenters
Anne Holland is Professor of Physiotherapy and Head of Respiratory Research at Monash University and Alfred Health in Melbourne. She is an NHMRC Leadership Fellow (L1 2021-2025, L2 2026-2030). Anne’s research program investigates supportive therapies for people with chronic respiratory disease, with a focus on COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. Her recent clinical trials have tested new models of pulmonary rehabilitation to improve access and uptake, including low cost home-based models and telerehabilitation. She is currently leading a multi-national trial of ambulatory oxygen for people with fibrotic lung disease. Anne is a Chief Investigator for the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis and the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Treatable Traits.
Professor Natasha Lannin is an internationally recognised clinician-researcher with a joint appointment at Alfred Health and Monash University, where she is the Head of the Brain Recovery and Rehabilitation Research group in the School of Translational Medicine. Professor Lannin joined The Department of Neuroscience at Monash University in 2019 from La Trobe University, where she had been the inaugural Chair in Occupational Therapy in a joint position with Alfred Health since 2011.
