Dan O'Neill - Effective Dissemination - Building an 'Evidence to Impact' Strategy

When a piece of ‘evidence’ is generated in the research environment and almost nobody hears about it, then can we really still call it a piece of ‘evidence’? Does evidence only become evidence once it is used; and until then, is it just a piece of insignificant information? As we inexorably travel through the EBVM era, we must increasingly prioritise effective dissemination of evidence. This paper will use the VetCompass Programme at the Royal Veterinary College as a case study to explore a strategic dissemination plan and examine routes for effective dissemination.  Dan O'Neill - Effective Dissemination - Building an Evidence to Impact Strategy Veterinary Evidence Today Edinburgh, 1-3 November 2016
