About this group

The latest insights from behavioural science help us better understand all of the factors that influence people’s behaviour – that’s patients and the public as well as healthcare staff. This helps us create more sustainable healthcare by reducing inefficiency and waste.

Behavioural insights can often be incorporated within existing quality improvement strategies to positively ‘nudge’ people’s behaviour.

This SIG will provide a space:

To share behavioural insights evidence base, models and theories
To increase awareness of areas of inefficiency and waste that have the potential to have a positive impact on the health and care system through the application of behavioural insights
For Q members to discuss and develop ideas to introduce nudge-type interventions to their improvement work

Motivation and how to use it is a complex science, motivating yourself is hard, motivating others is even harder. When trying to make improvements in the NHS we need to think carefully about how we motivate our staff to bring about change and improve patient outcomes.
