This symposium is offered by colleagues at the NIHR ARC North Thames Academy. Further details below:
Attendees will meet online on 2 November and in-person on 10-11 November in Bloomsbury, central London.
Q-MIR 2022 will bring together internationally acknowledged speakers to explore the ways that qualitative methods make possible discovery research around implementation processes. The meeting has two main objectives: (a) to explore the role of qualitative research in building knowledge about evidence translation and implementation science, and (b) to explore how Normalization Process Theory, and other theoretical frameworks, can inform qualitative research on implementation.
Q-MIR 2022 mobilises the best mix of hybrid delivery.
On 2 November our plenary speakers will give their talks as a webinar, open to all, and with discussants drawn from ARC NT and ARC NENC.
On 10 and 11 November we’ll offer in-person talks and workshops at a venue in Central London. Workshop attendance is limited and we aim to build a collegial and collaborative space for practitioners and researchers interested in thinking qualitatively about implementation research.
Presentations and workshops at Q-MIR 2022 will focus on:
