About the course

 

This masterclass will give you an in-depth understanding of behavioural insights; the theory as well as how you can apply behaviour change principles to real-life public health and health challenges faced by your organisation. 
​

  • How is behaviour change theory being applied in the real world to tackle health inequalities and increase life expectancy? 

  • How can behaviour change techniques improve outcomes and deliver better health communications and campaigns?

  • How can behavioural frameworks help solve these challenges?

  • How do you measure behaviour change to ensure you have had a real impact?


The course is run by Behaviour Change Network Founder, Dominic Ridley-Moy and clinical psychologist Doctor Lucy Mersh who have a wealth of knowledge in running health communications and behaviour change. 


The course is aimed at communications professionals and practitioners working in NHS or public health roles.

 

  • You will come away with an in-depth understanding of behaviour change theory as well as going through lots of practical examples to help you apply it. 

  • And we will work through our very own BEST framework (Behaviour, Examine, Solve and Test) along with models, such as EAST (Easy, Attractive, Social and Timely) and COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour).

​

Finally, you gain an in-depth appreciation of what drives human behaviour; the barriers that prevent people from taking action and how to bring predictability to what appears, on the surface, to be unpredictable human behaviour.

​

How can behaviour change theory help you?

​

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,

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.

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.
