Implementing integrated healthcare: Lessons from ‘Primrose’ – supporting people with severe mental illness to reduce cardiovascular risk
Speakers:
Dr Pip Shaw & Eloise Ryde
Abstract:
In today’s turbulent healthcare context, it is important to understand how to move evidence-based interventions from research into everyday practice, and to ensure they can be sustained and expanded over time. In this seminar Pip and Eloise will explore this through the case study of ‘Primrose’, an evidence-based care pathway with behaviour change sessions, designed to help people living with severe mental illness reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
Pip and Eloise will share findings from their qualitative research, including interviews, ethnographic observations, and focus groups with those delivering and/or implementing Primrose and researchers. They will also introduce three approaches to analysis:
· Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research: A structured way to identify barriers and enablers when shifting evidence into practice.
· Normalisation Process Theory: A theory that examines how new practices become embedded and sustained in everyday work.
· Nonadoption, Abandonment, Scale-up, Spread, and Sustainability Framework – Complexity Assessment Tool: A combined framework and tool focusing on the complexities of implementation.

Pip is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Division of Psychiatry at University College London. She has a background in health psychology and mental health research, with a current focus on implementing integrated healthcare. Her work draws on a wide range of qualitative methods, and in recent years she has increasingly applied implementation science frameworks in her research.
Eloise is an implementation research fellow based in Bradford, within the Applied Research Collaboration Yorkshire and Humber. She provides implementation research support to teams across the region. Previous, Eloise has worked on several large mental health trials including evaluating a psychological support package based on Behavioural Activation for older adults with multiple long term health conditions.
