The Knowledge to Care (K2C) cluster develops the theory and practice of evidence-informed healthcare. We strategically use five ways of working that underpin contemporary healthcare to inform our activity. The K2C cluster views, patient and public involvement and engagement, co-working, , implementation science, improvement science and knowledge mobilisation as a repertoire of approaches which, when appropriately and skilfully applied, can maximise practice impact.
Our mission is to operationalise evidence-informed care, this is complex and challenging. Our expertise allows us to use a repertoire of techniques to support healthcare practitioners to optimise care.
We are central in the West Midlands Knowledge Mobilisation Collaboration and work closely with Keele IAU and WM ARC.
