The dissemination of evidence-based recommendations is a key step for improving the quality of care. However, the mere dissemination of information is often not effective in changing clinical practice and behaviour. Designing and conducting the implementation of the recommendations can be complex and challenging particularly for those new to implementation science. To address this, the Quality of Care (QoC) Committee aims to facilitate the implementation process by including preparatory activities (e.g. information sessions for methodologists to develop quality indicators for EULAR Recommendations and Points to Consider (PtC)) and follow-up activities.

To further support the implementation processes of EULAR Recommendations and PtC, the related SOPs for EULAR (post-TF) Implementation projects and Implementation Toolbox have been produced to facilitate the conduct of EULAR (post-TF) Implementation projects

Projects’ applications for leadership of a EULAR (post-TF) Implementation project can be submitted from any individual member of EULAR, or member of national organisations (PARE, HPR, Scientific Societies organisations) or member of EMEUNET and PAED communities under the umbrella of EULAR. 

Convenors are asked to submit a full proposal including an abstract (a short description without the convenor’s and other members’ names) and a lay summary. 

Annual submission deadlines to taskforces@eularg.org

• 01 November (for the March Council meeting) 
• 01 April (for the September Council meeting) 

Please carefully read the SOPs for EULAR (post-TF) Implementation projects to familiarise yourself with the application criteria, evaluation processes and conduct.
