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,

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.
