![CDATA[This paper brings together two seemingly disparate fields of research – knowledge translation and organisational theory. This is achieved by applying a framework that incorporates agency, institutional, and situated change theories to the translation of clinical guidelines within primary care.

This study is important for theoretical, methodological, and practical reasons, all of which are discussed.]]
