The UK Knowledge Mobilisation Forum (UKKMbF) is an annual event on knowledge mobilisation taking place in the United Kingdom since 2014. It was started by Cathy Howe and since 2017 it is led by Vicky Ward.[1][2]
Overview[edit]
The Forum grew out from the perception that the field of knowledge mobilisation is fragmented and despite being established in the UK healthcare more is needed for translating clinical evidence into practice. In order to broaden the understanding of knowledge translation in healthcare, the Forum was established with a cross-sectoral approach.[3]
Participants of the forum usually include clinicians, researchers and policy advisors.[1][3] Typical formats used at the event are workshops, posters, fishbowl conversation, knowledge fayres, market stalls and poster presentations.[4]
