In this episode of the RCP Medicine Podcast, Dr. Rohan Mehra, an Infectious Diseases/Microbiology SPR, discusses the critical role of behavioural science in addressing health inequalities. Decreased vaccine uptake and lack of engagement with healthcare services are pressing issues, particularly among those affected by health disparities. To shed light on these challenges, Rohan  is joined by Professor Susan Michie, a leading expert in health psychology and behaviour change from University College London. With her extensive research and practical expertise, Professor Michie explores how we can apply behavioural science to improve healthcare engagement and design effective interventions. Tune in to discover how understanding human behaviour can drive meaningful change in health outcomes.References:A synthesis of evidence for policy from behavioural science during COVID-19, Ruggeri et al.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06840-9The human behaviour change project www.humanbehaviourchange.orgComplex Systems for Sustainability and Health https://www.ucl.ac.uk/complex-urban-systems/cussh.Behaviour Change Wheel: A Guide to Designing Interventions www.behaviourchangewheel.comWHO behavioural science grouphttps://www.who.int/initiatives/behavioural-sciences RCP Links Education Events Membership Improving care Policy and campaigns RCP Social Media Instagram LinkedIn Facebook X Bluesky Music: Episode 50 onward - Bensound.com Episodes 1 - 49 'Impressive Deals' - Nicolai Heidlas
