Towards evidence-based tailored implementation strategies for eHealth
The ImpleMentAll midterm workshop will take place on Wednesday, 10 October 2018, at Odense Congress Center, and will provide profound insight into the project’s work with implementation science to result in an online tool for tailoring implementation strategies.
The programme for the day holds a lot of interesting presentations by key figures in ImpleMentAll and stakeholders. In the first session, we will get an introduction to the project and the theory behind it. During the second session we dive deeper into the implementation universe and get a more nuanced view on what implementation science can offer implementers worldwide. The third and last session offers a panel discussion including possibility for the audience to have their questions discussed and answered by an international panel consisting of i.a. implementation experts internal and external to the project.
The 4th Australasian Implementation Conference (AIC) will take place in Melbourne the 22-24th October, 2018.
The AIC will be hosted alongside the What Works Global Summit 2018. The combined conference will bring you all the latest evidence and implementation science strategies, helping you improve policies, practices, and outcomes across the social services and international development sectors. Brought to you by global experts in evidence and implementation, the conference will explore how new evidence can be used to build robust strategies that improve health, education and wellbeing for individuals, families, and communities.

In the heart of science and patient care
From anxiety disorders to obsessive-compulsive disorder: The top-class scientific and further education programme of the DGPPN Congress 2018 offers a comprehensive overview of current and future developments in the field of mental health – with practical insights for prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
Thanks to its broad range of topics, renowned experts and excellent continuing education opportunities, the DGPPN Congress has established itself as a central forum for the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy. In just four days participants can obtain a comprehensive overview of current developments in psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosomatics. The congress programme will cover all relevant mental illnesses and will put a lot of emphasis on biological and psychotherapeutic topics and topics of social psychiatry. At the same time, health political, societal and cultural issues will also be an important focus. National and international renowned keynote speakers will address fascinating topics in plenary presentations and lectures.
Key topics of the congress
The future of care: patient oriented, integrated and interconnected
Science and research: new approaches in prevention, diagnostics and treatment
Mentally ill refugees: culturally sensitive psychosocial interventions and therapies
E-mental health: Chances and risks for patients
Understand and support: new impulses in psychotherapy and the value of the relationship
Quality research generates the evidence needed to optimize health and health care in the United States and elsewhere. However, the full potential of evidence can only be realized if it is effectively incorporated into health practice and policy. The Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health (D&I), co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth, bridges the gap between research, practice, and policy in health and health care.
This conference intends to support collective understanding of the research agenda to incorporate these challenges into D&I research through a combination of plenaries, concurrent and poster sessions that will present research findings and identify the next set of research priorities, setting the field up for the next decade.
The European Psychiatric Association (EPA) was founded in 1983. With active individual members in as many as 88 countries and 40 National Society/Association Members who represent over 78000 European psychiatrists, the EPA is the main association representing psychiatry in Europe. Its mission is to improve psychiatry and mental health care in Europe.
EPA members include leading experts in numerous fields. EPA's activities address the interests of psychiatrists in academia, research and practice throughout all stages of career development. Together, EPA members contribute to the life of the association and to the development of psychiatry in Europe. Each member has the possibility to actively contribute to ongoing projects and play a key role in shaping the future of the Association and its policies.
EPA accomplishes its mission through the following activities
Annual European Congress of Psychiatry
European Psychiatry journal
EPA Courses, Summer School, Faculty Workshop and other forms of training (EPA Academia for Excellence in European Psychiatry)
Early Career Psychiatrists Committee and Programme
Research Prizes and Scholarship Programme
21 Scientific Sections
Cooperation with National Psychiatric Associations through EPA membership
Guidance papers and position statements on related topics of interest
Initiatives on improving ethical standards of psychiatric care and practice
Collaborative activities in partnership with international organisations working in the field of psychiatry and mental health care.
EPA Members benefit from a reduced registration fee at the Congress.
A growing community of researchers and health care professionals recognise the importance of effective implementation and implementation science. Health benefits through effective interventions and quality standards can after all only be achieved when they are implemented in an effective manner. But how has this to be done and what is known in science about effective implementation? Implementation Science was the key topic during this symposium. Implementation theories were discussed, as well as success stories of effective implementation.
ImpleMentAll was officially kicked off 18 January at the VU in Amsterdam. In addition to serving as the formal start of our work in the project, the meeting gave the consortium a chance to get to know each other and connect. All in all, the day was very successful and the project got off to a good start.
The next consortium meeting will be held 5-6 July in Newcastle, UK, kindly hosted by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Strengthening the Evidence-to-Action Connection
With terms such as “fake news”, “alternative facts”, and “post-truth” now in common parlance, it is more important than ever that researchers, policymakers, health care practitioners, technology developers, patients, and the public affirm their commitment to action based on evidence and collaborative approaches that will strengthen the evidence-to-action connection. The HTAi 2018 Annual meeting will provide an unparalleled opportunity to consider, debate and clarify the role of health technology assessment (HTA) in the health care ecosystem.
With three plenary sessions that all support the conference’s overarching theme of Strengthening the Evidence-to-Action Connection, the HTAi 2018 Annual Meeting will be a must-attend event for those in the global HTA community to consider and debate:
how HTA needs to change its approach to generating, synthesizing and presenting evidence in order to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world;
what is required to enable the implementation of evidence into evidence-informed policies and practices, and
what can be done to strengthen and accelerate the evidence-to-action connection.
As the leading global discussion platform for all stakeholders engaged in the efficient production and use of HTAs in decision-making, HTAi supports and promotes the development, communication, understanding and use of HTA around the world as a scientifically-based and interdisciplinary means of informing decision making on the use of effective technologies and the efficient use of resources in health care. HTAi welcomes all stakeholders – patients/consumers, health care providers, academic researchers, HTA agencies, payers, policy makers, industry – to join us.
