“Completing the Exploring Knowledge Translation course has enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of what knowledge translation is and how it differs from the quality improvement projects I’ve been involved in as a clinician. I now feel more confident to apply the principles of planned-action frameworks and behaviour change theories to my future projects. Finally, I’ve learned that prior to making any changes aimed at improving practice, it is essential to identify and liaise with key stakeholders and discuss and address any potential barriers and facilitators to change. I look forward to using the knowledge and skills I have obtained from this course to translate key learnings from my research to support health promotion practice within the school setting.
