Based on a combined 30 years of experience converting national and state policy into local action and service development, this workshop will briefly overview some of the essential enablers and difficult obstacles to effective implementation. The workshop participants will then consider ways of considering the populations that actions may target (eg different ages, settings, risk profile). Based on the principles of successful implementation, participants will be guided to draft specific actions they could apply to their particular context. Groups will then consider a set of recommendations for action for each population group. Finally the workshop will bring together and summarise recurrent themes from each of the workshop groups.
