Project Outputs
This Web-based Implementation Toolkit (WIT) is designed to be easy to use and intended for a variety of users, projects and settings where implementation is planned or being considered. Implementation is the attempt to introduce a new intervention, innovation or policy developed through research and apply it to health and/or social care and the third sector. WIT provides you with an interactive Implementation Wheel, Checklist and bite-size Webinars (average 10 minutes) to support you through your implementation journey.
Alignment with Health and Social Care Priorities - Will implementation of your project outputs be a priority for those involved in health and social care?
Who is WIT for?
-
WIT recognises the need to provide freely available, accessible and simple to use tools that focus on key
considerations at the outset of a project. -
WIT was through interactive workshops with health and social care professionals, third sector organisation professionals, academics and members of the public.
Anyone looking to understand more about or engage in implementation.

How to use WIT
-
Use the interactive Implementation Wheel, Checklist and bitesize Webinars to support you on your implementation journey and beyond.

The six Wheel domains can be used iteratively, and in no particular order.

The Checklist is downloadable and consists of the same domains as the Wheel. You can use this to complete with your team and check progress of your implementation journey.
