Our five study objectives are to determine:

• What guidelines and/or training initiatives are currently available in our partner countries that have been generated by primary care research in a way that was inclusive of all key stakeholders?
• How are the guidelines and/or training initiatives translated into practice by primary care staff? What are the processes of implementation, 'on the ground' in routine practice?
• What is the capacity of primary care settings in different countries (and, therefore, different organisational contexts) to incorporate implementation processes within their current organisational arrangement?
• Is the implementation work for guidelines and/or training initiatives sustainable - leading to normalised use of these technologies in routine practice?
• What are the benefits (if any) of using NPT and PLA to investigate and support implementation processes? There will be co-operation between an inter-disciplinary team of experienced researchers, across 6 European health care settings with different organizational contexts and capacities to respond to this implementation work.
