Rosmin Esmail successfully defended her PhD on Oct 14. Rosmin’s work comprised three studies to determine how KT approaches are used to translate HTR outputs to achieve the desired outcomes; a scoping review of KT Theories, a modified Delphi process and expert survey to review the identified KT theories and determine which may be suitable for HTR and an in-depth qualitative inquiry to understand the characteristics that must be included in a KT model for HTR. This is the first body of work that examines the relationship between HTR and KT.
