'Intervening to translate research and policy findings into practical local solutions'

Gillian Granville Associates is a company that is passionate about transferring policy and research findings into practical changes on the ground. The principal ways we achieve this are through conducting realist style evaluations and supporting strategy development and implementation planning in complex systems. Our work is underpinned by a drive to improve health inequalities, enable social inclusion and promote social justice.

We are committed to an evaluation approach that is designed to transfer knowledge through organisations and which supports the spread and scaling up of innovative practice. We seek to encourage an evaluation culture in organisations and to build the capacity and capability of front line staff to reflect on, and self-evaluate, their work. We do this through using practical tools and developing a culture of learning.

Dr Gillian Granville is the Director and is supported by a network of associates. She has 18 years experience at national level in the NHS, the Department of Health, and the non-governmental sector. She has delivered a number of evaluation and implementation projects across systems in areas such as health and health inequalities, health trainers, midlife, ageing and life course development, men's health, intergenerational approaches and volunteers' health and wellbeing. She has published extensively in these topics, as well as in policy and research implementation methodologies.
