We design evidence-informed health programs that balance research rigor with practical implementation needs to achieve measurable outcomes. Our approach integrates behaviour change theory with stakeholder priorities to create interventions that are both effective and sustainable. While we offer comprehensive project support, our specialised services include:

Rapid review - evidence synthesis: We conduct focused reviews of current research to identify best practices and emerging approaches in your field. By systematically analysing relevant literature and evaluation findings, we provide you with clear, actionable insights that strengthen your program design and implementation strategy.

Needs assessment: Our structured assessment process combines quantitative data analysis with stakeholder consultation to identify critical gaps and intervention opportunities. We map social determinants and system factors that influence outcomes, resulting in targeted recommendations aligned with your organisational capacity and strategic objectives.

Co-design facilitation: We guide participatory design processes that meaningfully integrate consumer voices throughout program development. Using structured engagement frameworks, we help you capture lived experience perspectives alongside professional expertise, creating interventions with higher relevance, acceptability, and potential for success.

Program logic development: We translate research insights and stakeholder input into comprehensive program models that clarify how your intervention works. Our visual mapping approach identifies key components, implementation pathways, and expected outcomes, creating a robust foundation for program delivery, monitoring and evaluation.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely integrated with public health practice as a way to move data from the project level, to be utilised and disseminated across organisations in a visual and geographic manner. GIS services can create a visual representation of your data that is readily understood, helping to solve complex business and data puzzles.

Visualisations and analyses generated by GIS can be powerful tools for advocating for policy changes and funding, providing clear evidence of health disparities and needs.

Evidence of GIS first use has been observed in John Snow's cholera clusters in the London epidemic of 1854. John utilised strokes on the map to indicate locations for incidences of cholera. This was mapped against pump locations to determine the source of the outbreak - example: Snow-cholera-map-1 - 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak - Wikipedia

Data Collection and Management:

• GIS can be used to collect and manage spatial data from various sources, including surveys, health records, environmental data, and social determinants of health.

• It allows for the integration of multiple data sets into a single platform, facilitating comprehensive analysis.

Mapping and Visualization:

• GIS enables the creation of detailed maps that visually represent health data, such as disease prevalence, health service locations, and environmental hazards.

• These visualisations help identify patterns and trends that might not be apparent in tabular data.

Spatial Analysis:

• Advanced spatial analysis tools in GIS can identify correlations between health outcomes and various factors such as proximity to healthcare facilities, socioeconomic status, and environmental exposures.

• GIS can perform hotspot analysis to locate areas with high incidence rates of diseases, guiding targeted interventions.

Resource Allocation and Planning:

• By analysing geographic data, public health consultancies and not-for-profits can optimize the allocation of resources such as medical personnel, supplies, and funding to areas where they are most needed.

• GIS helps in planning outreach programs and mobile health services by identifying underserved or high-risk populations.

Community Engagement and Communication:

• Interactive maps and GIS applications can be used to engage communities by providing accessible and understandable information about health issues and resources.

• These tools can support advocacy and communication efforts, demonstrating the impact of interventions and the need for further support.

Monitoring and Evaluation:

• GIS allows for ongoing monitoring of health interventions by tracking changes in health outcomes and service utilization over time.

• It facilitates the evaluation of program effectiveness by comparing spatial data before and after interventions.

  
  

We strengthen your team's capabilities to design, implement, and evaluate evidence-informed health interventions through targeted skill development and practical knowledge transfer. Our capacity building approach draws on our implementation science expertise and field experience to create sustainable internal capabilities.

Our specialised training programs include:

• Co-Design methodologies: Develop your staff's ability to meaningfully engage consumers and stakeholders in participatory design processes, ensuring interventions reflect real-world needs and preferences.

• Program evaluation fundamentals: Build your team's capacity to develop and implement practical monitoring and evaluation frameworks, including selecting appropriate indicators, collecting meaningful data, and interpreting findings.

• Implementation planning: Enhance your organisation's capability to translate research into practice through structured implementation planning that addresses barriers, leverages enablers, and promotes program fidelity.

• Mixed-methods research approaches: Develop skills in combining quantitative and qualitative research techniques to gather comprehensive insights for program improvement.

We develop comprehensive M&E frameworks anchored in program theory that track implementation fidelity alongside outcome indicators. Our approach integrates mixed-methods data collection strategies with pragmatic evaluation designs to capture both process measures and impact metrics. By establishing clear measurement protocols from project inception, we enable continuous quality improvement while building a robust evidence base for your intervention. Our expertise includes developing appropriate indicators, establishing practical data collection systems, and creating accessible reports that translate evaluation findings into actionable insights for stakeholders.
