Event Description

This two and half day interactive course will equip Infection Specialist clinicians, researchers and scientists with the skills, frameworks and strategic insight needed to move beyond publication and clinical practice into meaningful policy and system-wide influence. 
Participants will explore how policy decisions are shaped, how complex healthcare systems operate, and how to strategically translate clinical and research expertise into policy and practice Through prework, practical workshops, case studies and applied exercises, attendees will develop tools to craft policy briefs, map stakeholders, engage decision-makers and design a personalised impact strategy aligned to their area of expertise.
Ideal for clinicians, researchers and scientific leaders seeking to extend their influence beyond the clinic or laboratory and drive sustainable system-level impact.
