Plain English Summary

I want to know how to embed knowledge mobilisation in the everyday practice of communities of professionals and service users in sustainable ways. I am interested in dementia care and particularly in care transitions and the needs of informal carers. I will work with people in these groups to identify problems, figure out what knowledge they need and where we can get it, and then help incorporate it into what they do. Doing this will not only improve local health services and patient quality of life, it will allow me to improve our understanding of how to sustain knowledge mobilisation.
