Description
Evidence but no practice--what does the future hold for communication research in healthcare? (workshop)• Rationale: There is ample research generated by scholars of cultural and linguistic diversity within clinical communication. However, only a very small amount of research evidence has been translated into clinical practice. Based on a complexity scientific approach, we recognise that the challenges to adequate uptake of evidence-based clinical practice are multifold. In this workshop, we will discuss the main barriers and potential solutions. For instance, most research did not have a clear impact pathway; and not all policymakers regard it as a priority for investment. As the population around the world is increasingly diversified, it is important to discuss how communication research can be translated into an effective change in healthcare for culturally and linguistically diverse patient populations.
• Learning objectives: This workshop will allow participants from different disciplines and professional backgrounds to discuss these barriers and potential solutions. Collectively we will produce a mind map. Specifically, participants will gain knowledge/insight on complexity science theory; skills and ability to apply the complexity scientific approach in their own work; and competences in identifying and discussing barriers and solutions regarding translating research evidence into clinical practice.
• Evaluation of outcomes for participants: Discussion will be captured and summarised by one of the co-facilitators. The mind map will be shared with all attendees. A short evaluation will be done using an online form. Participants may join the working group for co-authoring a discussion paper based on the workshop outcomes.
