Abstract: To address a disjuncture between medical workforce research and policy activities in Ireland, a series of national level policy dialogues were held between policy stakeholders and researchers to promote the use of research evidence in medical workforce planning. This article reports on findings from a qualitative study of four policy dialogues (2013–2016), the aim of which was to analyse policy dialogues as a mechanism for knowledge-sharing and interaction to support medical workforce planning.
