      ab: Implementation science (ImpSci) programs are emerging in nursing postgraduate education. The Evidence‐Based Quality Improvement Project (EQUIP) is a multiphase initiative aimed at equipping implementation lead nurses (IL nurses) with the skills necessary for practice changes. This study leveraged EQUIP's outcomes to develop a 1‐year Higher Diploma in ImpSci for registered nurses, preparing graduates to conduct ImpSci projects that improve healthcare quality. Using a co‐participatory design, the study engaged IL nurses (n = 10), clinician nurses (n = 3), clinical research nurses (n = 1), and academic staff (n = 2) in collaboratively developing the ImpSci Higher Diploma curriculum. Six co‐designed learning domains were established, aligning with the program's mission to advance evidence‐based education, research‐driven clinical practice, and sustainable quality initiatives, with a focus on ImpSci. Nine program learning outcomes were mapped to eight domains of competence, creating a framework to prepare IL nurses to conduct ImpSci projects, address challenges, and improve patient outcomes. ImpSci Higher Diploma builds on previous work in evidence‐based practice (EBP) implementation, equipping graduates to lead critical quality improvement efforts and advance nursing education and healthcare delivery.
