Who we are
CEIS Solutions is the commercial arm of the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science, a leading research institute recognised for delivering high-quality evaluation, implementation science and real-world impact.
We partner with organisations across policy, the public sector, healthcare and industry to help design, evaluate, implement and scale programmes, innovations, services and interventions that deliver measurable and lasting change.

What we do
Working across public services, charities, foundations, and socially driven businesses, CEIS Solutions offers a flexible, high-impact portfolio of services.
We provide high quality service evaluation and implementation support that helps organisations turn evidence into action and impact. Our expertise spans evidence synthesis (e.g. systematic reviews), qualitative and quantitative methods, implementation science and health economics enabling us to provide a comprehensive view of what works for whom and in what context.
We work in partnership with clients to translate insight into clear, practical implementation plans and compelling business cases that support decision-making, unlock investment and drive measurable real-world change at scale.
Designed to provide introductory to advanced level training to individuals across policy, healthcare, academic, the public sector and industry.
Our two-day Winter School takes place in November each year. Through expert-led workshops, tailored mentoring and collaborative learning you will obtain in-depth training in implementation science that is designed to equip you with the skills needed to design projects or plans to address real world implementation challenges. Places are limited and subject to selection via our competitive application process.
Our annual Implementation Science conference takes place in January each year and provides an opportunity to learn and engage with leading experts in the field.

What did you enjoy most about the Winter School?
-
"Willingness of experts to support and engage with different projects rather than it being a passive learning experience"
-
"Dynamic, delivered by an exceptionally knowledgeable team. Touches on the fundamentals. Makes me want to be a part implementation scientist"
-
"Excellent speakers - engaging and approachable. Good to have small group session to discuss own ideas."
-
What was the most valuable session for you?
-
"All of them! I loved the balance and blend of different perspectives and arguments. How to integrate these was clear. I liked the logical movement from theory through to application."
-
"I enjoyed the afternoon keynotes the most and found them to link most closely with my own interests and research."
-
"I think the combination of the different perspectives that was most valuable rather than one session, it was a good mix."

I’m Dr Bella Scantlebury, lead for the Implementation Science Programme, at the University of Birmingham.

Professor Amy Grove
I’m Amy Grove, professor of Implementation Science at the University of Birmingham. Here at the University of Birmingham, we have launched an Implementation Science programme, which is led by the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science. At the centre, we don’t just find out what works, we use Implementation Science to ask how do we make it work?
00:00:33:07 - 00:00:49:06
Dr Arabella Scantlebury
Implementation Science gives us the tools to make sure that scientific knowledge is used in the real world. Some of the best ideas fail when they aren’t implemented properly and this has a cost, to those who have already invested in developing a solution and to the people and systems it could benefit.
00:00:49:08 - 00:01:05:20
Professor Amy Grove
Take a digital app, for example, which has been proven to help people with weight management. Even if a research study proves this app works and is published in a high quality academic journal, that doesn’t mean that people or health services will use it.
00:01:05:22 - 00:01:26:16
Dr Arabella Scantlebury
We start with a real-world problem, and we partner with organisations across the public sector including industry and use our research expertise to find out how we can make sure your product, innovation or service changes lives and reaches its full potential. Implementation Science is, structured, evidence based — but flexible — and always centred around what works for people.
00:01:26:18 - 00:01:33:13
Professor Amy Grove
There are lots of ways to join the Implementation Science programme — whether you're just getting starting or looking to further your skills.
00:01:33:15 - 00:01:53:09
Dr Arabella Scantlebury
The Winter School is an intensive 2-day programme for mid to senior level professionals, with some knowledge of Implementation Science and delivering research across the public sector. We provide hands-on, practical, and collaborative expertise to help you create a research proposal, or business plan for turning your Implementation Science problem into a solution.
00:01:53:11 - 00:02:04:09
Professor Amy Grove
The Implementation Science Conference is a space to connect with researchers, practitioners and policymakers — and hear about Implementation Science from experts in the field.
00:02:04:11 - 00:02:23:08
Dr Arabella Scantlebury
Finally, our Residential Fellowship is a unique opportunity for early- to mid-career professionals to obtain experience by working with our experts at the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science for one month. It is an opportunity to identify supervisors and develop your own research proposal, or gain practical experience by working with our team.
00:02:23:10 - 00:02:35:05
Professor Amy Grove
