This relatively new field includes the study of influences on (healthcare) professional and organisational behaviour.   The summer school is being organised by the Department of Public Health and Primary Care in the School of Medicine, Trinity  in association  with the Centre for Effective Services (CES)  , a not for profit organisation funded by the  Department of Youth and Family Affairs and Atlantic Philanthropies.
 
The programme will comprise a series of lectures case studies and workshops.   The lectures from international keynote speakers from US and UK will provide participants with the background theory behind implementation science.  The case studies and workshops will allow participants to hear and work through practical examples of successful and unsuccessful implementation projects using international and Irish case studies.
 
The Summer School should be of interest to a wide ranging audience including practitioners, academia, policy makers, and researchers from a variety of backgrounds.
