UEA Driving Change: Behavioural Science for Health and Social Care Professionals and Researchers – February 2026
Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 February, 10:00 – 16:00, Online
Course Fees: £465
For clinicians, researchers, educators, QI staff, and anyone involved in improving practice or patient outcomes.
The course is structured across two intensive, highly interactive days designed to transition participants from understanding behavioural science concepts to practical intervention design skills. The course starts with an overview and rationale for applying behavioural science in health and social care, moving onto the main behavioural science theories and frameworks.
Day 1 focuses heavily on laying this theoretical groundwork for behaviour change
Day 2 culminates in participants designing their own intervention in a small group and delivering mini-presentations, ensuring they leave with tangible skills ready for application.
On this course, you will learn:
- How behavioural science supports effective health & care interventions
- Key theories and frameworks (including COM-B, TDF & Behaviour Change Techniques)
- How to define your target audience and diagnose behavioural determinants
- How to design a behaviour change intervention from start to finish
- Practical application through case studies and group activities
- Personalised guidance through our dedicated Behavioural Science Clinic
Behavioural science is the methodological discipline of understanding, predicting and changing human behaviour. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) describes behaviour change interventions as having “enormous potential to alter patterns of disease and improve public health”.
