What is it about?
The intervention was designed to implement NICE guidance more thoroughly because there was evidence that the guidelines had only been partly routinised.

Why is it important?
This paper reveals some of the gaps between trial-based evidence and putting it into practice; specifically relating to the system changes that are required when implementing a standard package into different organisations.
