Connecting people and ideas to shape meaningful change in healthcare
Hello, I am Sharon Mickan
I facilitate health professionals and leaders to implement evidence and innovation in complex systems
by bringing the right people and ideas together in a way that improves healthcare practice.
The problem ahead
Healthcare is full of evidence, ideas and expertise.
Many health professionals know what needs to be improved but are unsure how to plan and implement that change in their own complex setting.
The challenge is often connecting the right people with the relevant evidence and then choosing the best strategies for their specific situations.
Too often, there is limited practical guidance. People feel stuck navigating competing priorities and complex stakeholder dynamics.
The Possibilities
Improving healthcare is seldom a single solution.
I see implementation as a mosaic, where each piece of research evidence, clinical experience and organisational context matters.
On its own, each piece is incomplete. Together, a meaningful improvement emerges.
My work focuses on bringing the right pieces together. I use a clear, structured approach that is grounded in implementation science, to help people build their own integrated implementation plans.
What I do
I bring together implementation science, behaviour theories and systems thinking, with my practical experience to provide a structured approach.
This helps people make sense of their situation, select strategies that fit their context, and develop implementation plans that are realistic and sustainable.
