The Centre is committed to the dissemination of research findings in the NHS in Scotland and beyond, in line with its remit to 'work for the implementation of proven changes in clinical activities'.
A variety of methods have been used to promote this. Active dissemination is pursued through presentations at conferences and publications in scientific journals and books.
