Claire SandersHOST
Talk to me about what knowledge mobilization with and how that how that relates to human factors.
F
41:31Fran IvesGUEST
So knowledge mobilisation, the sort of work that we're doing is really trying to find bits of research in healthcare that have, you know, generated some maybe a new treatment a new pathway a new way of working or a new product but it's not that message that information that knowledge isn't getting to where it needs to be so so often in academia people are on research projects they've got funding for a certain period of time and once that funding is coming towards an end they're sort of looking for the next next bit of funding and And there isn't necessarily time built into that project to actually go and share and mobilize the information that they have developed.
F
42:19Fran IvesGUEST
So there's a real danger that brilliant research can sort of just end up on shelves gathering dust because it's not shared with the people who can actually do something with it.
F
42:31Fran IvesGUEST
So my role is to look at, well, how, you know, how can we better do that? So I work on a few different projects, bits of research that have been done.
F
42:41Fran IvesGUEST
And I work with sort of clinicians and patients, et cetera, to actually share that knowledge so that it can be implemented and used within health care for the benefits of the patients, but also families, carers and the clinicians.
F
42:58Fran IvesGUEST
And how that relates to human factors, I think it's, I think once you're a human factors person, you are always a human factors person.
