Do you work in Local Government and have a #PublicHealth scheme in need of evaluation?

The PHIRST scheme is now accepting Expressions of Interest ➡️ nihr.ac.uk/funding/publ...

First KM blog post: What is Knowledge Mobilisation? I have come across lots of definitions, but not many visuals, so I gave it a go myself. If you know of any good visuals on Knowledge Mobilisation – please send them my way!

I spend a lot of time “doing Knowledge Mobilisation” for public health evaluations.

So I've started a blog to capture all the things I learn, tweak and develop along the way.

Have a read, open to feedback or discussions!
