The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South London is a research organisation that brings together researchers, health and social care practitioners, and local people to improve health and social care in south London. We aim to help local NHS and social care services offer excellent care, based on sound evidence. We also provide training in implementation and improvement science to help put research evidence into practice.

The Implementation and Innovation Research Group (IIR) is a multi-disciplinary research group based at Northumbria University (UK) focused on undertaking and developing approaches to implementation and improvement research, and knowledge mobilisation. The group’s work ranges from initiation, scoping and development of novel ideas for service, therapeutic and care innovations, to feasibility studies, pilot and full trials with embedded process evaluations, as well as the scaling up and scaling out of evidence-based interventions.
