Creative ideas
During the course, you will work through the BEST framework to give you a behavioural framework to plan your campaigns, improve service delivery and bring predictability to what appears to be unpredictable human behaviour.
You will come away with an understanding of how to set behavioural objectives, how to implement them, and importantly how to measure whether they have been successful, often at low cost.
Planned communications
Behaviour change theory can help tackle a range of topics facing the NHS and public health teams today. Attendees will receive a pre-event survey, so that case studies are tailored to campaigns and scenarios you are facing today. Examples include,

Managing demand for health services

Looking after your mental health

Help people stop smoking and with alcohol and substance misuse problems

Encouraging people to make healthier life choices

Prompting people to take more exercise

Encouraging people of all ages to take and keep up to date with immunisations

Preventing & reducing the risk of disease, e.g. diabetes, cancer & heart disease

Encouraging people to have better diets

Continue to encourage people to take vaccines
And these interventions are often at much lower costs, compared with traditional forms of communications, involving small changes, or 'nudges' to communications or processes.

Workshops
The behaviour change training was a really valuable day – fascinating and insightful. The most value was definitely being able to practically apply the theory to live campaigns that we are currently working on. It was incredibly useful having a real example of what’s worked and what hasn’t – the team are much more confident in applying behaviour change theory into their campaign planning now.
