Development and adaptation of Complex Healthcare InterventionsUppsala University, The Research Training Committee, Disciplinary Domain of Medicine and PharmacyThe overall goal of the course is to build a basic understanding of how to develop and/or adapt complex health care interventions following the UK Medical Research Council’s Complex Interventions Framework. The course is especially suited to those who want to develop and/or adapt complex healthcare interventions that are optimized for implementation into real-world healthcare settings. The course will also have a focus on using participatory approaches, e.g., public contribution and co-design/co-production. The course is designed around the key actions to be considered when developing and/or adapting a complex healthcare intervention (O’Cathain et al., 2019) including (1) planning the development process; (2) involving interest-holders; (3) evidence synthesis; (4) drawing upon theories and articulating the programme theory and logic model; (5) collecting qualitative and quantitative data; (6) understanding the context; and (7) paying attention to future implementation. Further, the course will provide students with a simple toolkit to facilitate the application of the knowledge they have gained in their research. The course comprises a series of lectures and seminars. Seminars will facilitate activity-based learning, such as class discussions, case studies, debates, peer review, role-play, and simulated data collection exercises. Interactional seminars are designed to help students apply the knowledge gained during the course to their research. The course will be delivered as a hybrid course. Students located at Uppsala University will be expected to attend in person in Uppsala. Students located outside of Uppsala University can attend online. Application deadline 14 August 2026.
