Things to consider
Objectives
• What do you want to achieve, for example, raise awareness and
understanding, or change practice? How will you know if you are
successful and made an impact? Be realistic and pragmatic.
Audience
• Identify your audience(s) so that you know who you will need to
influence to maximise the uptake of your research e.g.
commissioners, patients, clinicians and charities. Think who might
benefit from using your findings. Understand how and where your
audience looks for/receives information. Gain an insight into what
motivates your audience and the barriers they may face.
Timeline
• When will dissemination activity occur? Identify and plan critical
time points, consider external influences, and utilise existing
opportunities, such as upcoming conferences.
