QH-TRIP: Translating Research Into Practice
Building capability to turn evidence into everyday care across Queensland Health.
What is QH-TRIP?
QH-TRIP is an evidence-based approach to guide the translation of research into clinical practice by using evidence-based frameworks and models founded in implementation science and knowledge translation.
QH-TRIP helps Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) bridge the gap between research and practice by strengthening workforce capability. Our free, online training and resources are available to the entire health workforce to support the delivery of high-value, evidence-based care.
The TRIP process
QH-TRIP empowers healthcare workers to plan and deliver research translation projects that lead to meaningful practice change. Our process embeds research into daily practice by strengthening the skills and capacity of the health workforce. The TRIP Change Builder interactive tool provides a tailored roadmap to guide you through your implementation project. |

The TRIP story
The Allied Health – Translating Research Into Practice (AH-TRIP) initiative received its first funding from Diamantina Health Partners (now Health Translation Queensland) in 2016 to develop the program. This seeded the growth from dietetics at the Princess Alexandra Hospital to state-wide dietetics and then broader allied health uptake. In 2020, the Office of the Chief Allied Health Officer (OCAHO) funded the sustainment of AH-TRIP delivery state-wide for the allied health workforce. From 2024 to 2025, OCAHO sought to strengthen the AH-TRIP website, enhancing functionality, usability, and relevance for all clinicians across Queensland Health. To do this, a structured co-design approach was used, engaging key stakeholders to ensure the website better met the diverse needs of the workforce and supported knowledge translation in day-to-day practice.
The AH-TRIP initiative is grounded in knowledge translation principles and informed by published evidence and local practice experience, with a clear focus on supporting allied health clinicians to apply research in real-world settings. The updated website delivers refreshed and rebranded content, updated tools and resources, and new multimedia materials. As part of this evolution, the platform has been rebranded from AH-TRIP to QH-TRIP, reflecting its expanded scope and its role in supporting the translation of research into practice across Queensland Health.
