Background: The implementation of evidence into practice is imperative to ensure the best outcomes are achieved for global health. However, evidence implementation is difficult and currently there is a large gap between evidence and practice. At the Joanna Briggs Institute we have developed an evidence implementation programme, titled the JBI Clinical Fellowship, to support clinicians to implement evidence into their organisation and everyday practice.

Objectives: To provide an overview of the JBI Clinical Fellowship programme and to discuss outcomes achieved from the programme.

Methods: The JBI Clinical Fellowship is a 6-month, workplace, evidence-based, implementation programme involving 2 x five-day intensive training workshops in the Joanna Briggs Institute, and a workplace, evidence-implementation project in the intervening months. Participants learn about clinical leadership and how to implement evidence in practice to improve outcomes, with their project report published in our peer-reviewed journal, The Joanna Briggs Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports.

Results: The JBI Clinical Fellowship, first established in the early 2000s, has trained and supported hundreds of people internationally to undertake evidence-implementation projects in their clinical setting. Presenters will share their experience running the programme and discuss the impact of the programme globally.

Conclusions: The JBI Clinical Fellowship programme has evolved over the last 15 years to adapt to new emerging methodologies, software development and as we increase our knowledge regarding effective implementation. The impact of the programme has been outstanding and resulted in hundreds of successful implementation projects and immeasurable benefits for patients worldwide.
