7.59 The Review recommends the establishment of a pilot programme, under the joint auspices of the NHS SDO programme and the NHS’ Connecting for Health ‘National Knowledge Service’, to examine the effectiveness of employing a small number of full-time ‘Knowledge Transfer Champions’ to disseminate the findings of health services research and facilitate early adoption of those findings into routine practice in the NHS. It will be important to develop an appropriate system of metrics from the outset to accurately assess the effectiveness of this pilot programme. Should it prove successful, the programme could be extended to include wider knowledge transfer functions within the NHS, such as the dissemination and implementation of NICE guidelines.
