SPEAKER

Bianca Albers, PhD, is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Zurich’s Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care and a seasoned organisational leader, investigator, and project manager with 15+ years’ experience in promoting the uptake of evidence in policy and practice in health and human services. 

 Before joining academia, Bianca worked in both government, and non-government organizations in Denmark and Australia with a focus on enabling the uptake and use of research findings in child and family services and early childhood education. 

 In her research, Bianca focuses on ways to enhance the capacities of organisations and service systems to develop, implement and sustain research-supported interventions, among others in areas such as infection prevention and control and cancer screening. Systematic knowledge synthesis and qualitative methods are central tools in this work. With a background in political science, Bianca also maintains a deep interest for the interface between implementation science and policy implementation. 

 Bianca is a co-founder and member of the European Implementation Collaborative (EIC) and an editorial board member of BMC Health Services Research.

This is a dialogue between speakers on the panel to discuss how behavioural and implementation sciences could address challenges and opportunities around quality improvement and value-based care.
