If you cast your mind back 17 years, you'd probably agree that a lot has changed in that time? ⏳ But 17 years is actually the approximate time it takes for research evidence to make it into practice.

Dietitian Adrienne and the team at Allied Health – Translating Research into Practice (AH-TRIP) are here to change that, agreeing that simple steps and some support can get research change to our patients sooner!

"We help clinicians find and understand the research evidence, and then we work with them and provide tools to get it to the bedside - we are there through the whole process to make it quicker," she said.

So far over 1000 health workers engage with AH-TRIP, which is good news for patients everywhere. 👏
