Abstract
Research takes 17 years to move into practice. Better understanding around implementation factors and effecting policy change are key to overcoming this research to practice gap. This year we have three amazing panel members who will share personal experiences from implementing interventions into practice within the Australian aged care sector. This is an interactive symposium, so you will have a chance to ask those edgy questions that you have always wanted to ask, in a safe place.
