The i2i team and the UNSW are pleased to share the following report: “Optimising Newborn Screening Consent in Queensland 2024” https://lnkd.in/gJySQ7Mq Earlier this year, i2i hosted two insightful workshops aimed at enhancing the consent process for Newborn Bloodspot Screening (NBS) in Queensland. With the participation of 86 key stakeholders—including clinicians, government officials, researchers, and advocacy representatives—we explored current practices, identified challenges, and brainstormed actionable improvements. We’re pleased to share our final report, which summarises key discussions, insights, and recommendations from these workshops. This report is part of a broader initiative by i2i, collaborating with Queensland Health on two funded projects aimed at ethically and sustainably expanding the NBS Program in Queensland. Well done to Natalie Taylor, Carolyn Mazariego-Jones, PhD, Zhicheng Li, Mahitha Ramanathan and Deborah Johnston! 🌟 #NewbornScreening #HealthcareInnovation #UNSW #Collaboration #PublicHealth
About us
A/Prof Natalie Taylor spearheads Implementation to Impact (i2i), where the focus is on applying implementation science to bridge the gap between evidence and practice. Our mission is to ensure that the latest research and evidence-based practices are seamlessly integrated into real-world settings nationally and internationally, including healthcare and health behaviours, energy transition, and climate change, ultimately making a positive impact on people's lives. We are interested in understanding why effective interventions frequently fail to demonstrate impact outside of the research ecosystem. This involves using implementation science frameworks to understand the contextual and behavioural factors affecting implementation success. We provide cost-effective training for the application of implementation methods, as well as parallel process evaluations to identify active ingredients of successful implementation approaches. The i2i team has expertise in the development, application and evaluation of tailored strategies to overcome the psychosocial and environmental factors affecting adoption of new innovations into complex systems to ensure benefits of science and technology reach those who need it most – be that individuals, families, communities, and public and private organisations.

Check out Natalie Taylor's incredible experience representing our team at the SIRC conference in Denver, Colorado! 💫
I had the BEST time at the Society for Implementation Research Collaboration (SIRC) conference in Denver, Colorado, where the conference theme was Strategic Synergy: Implementation Research, Practice, and Policy for Impact. Representing UNSW Implementation to Impact (i2i), I spoke to a poster on the development of a Learning Implementation System, and presented “Applying Collaborative Implementation Science Approaches to Develop an Australian ‘Research-Ready’ Precision Medicine Clinic.” It was great to see such interesting conference content, connect with old and new implementation science colleagues, make some fitness friends, and do some non-conference cool stuff!

This week i2i director Natalie Taylor presented at the University of North Carolina on the interplay between intuition and theory in implementation science. As an invited speaker, Nat had the privilege of meeting long-term collaborator Megan C. Roberts, PhD in person. We are excited to delve deeper into these discussions and explore how we can collectively advance our field. Here’s to new connections and impactful work ahead! #ImplementationScience #Collaboration #UNC

🧬 A recent study published in Public Health Genomics titled “Bridging the Gap Between Intuition and Theory: A Comparison of Different Approaches to Implementation Strategy Development for Improving Lynch Syndrome Detection” sheds light on effective strategies for Lynch syndrome referral practices. While there’s increasing interest in using theory for behaviour change interventions, evidence on the effectiveness of isolated theoretical components of an implementation effort, in comparison to isolated intuitive components, remains limited. The Hide and Seek Project (HaSP) conducted a randomized controlled trial to test two implementation methods for improving Lynch syndrome detection. By applying these methods more broadly, we could gain definitive evidence about the comparative effectiveness of theoretical approaches. Big shout-out to the hardworking i2i team members— Natalie Taylor, Gabriella Tiernan, Elizabeth Kennedy, April Morrow and Priscilla Chan 👏 https://lnkd.in/gB5AUG-m
