11 Key Tasks towards implementation Translation Work with: Partners in research and service to prioritize research that meets their needs and to implement findings Strengthen: Links among professionals in public health policy, practice and academia with regard to research, development and implementation 11 11

12 Key Tasks towards implementation Communication Engage: Stakeholders in dialogue to define research questions and disseminate them widely Develop: Public communications strategies that motivate, inspire, enthuse and educate people about public health research 12 12

13 In End of Life / Palliative Care we are not behind the starting line 13 13

14 14 PHE s data assets enable research to deliver useful insights. Engagement with academic partners is essential for research capacity (and leadership)

15 Innovative examples from elsewhere
