Commissioning for Irrationality

We recently presented at the NHS Confederation Conference 2011 in the public health stream on Commissioning for Behaviour Change. Denise's prsentation was titled "Commissioning for Irrationality" and explained how as humans we know we have limits as we rely on tools and gadgets such as alarm clocks, fuel gauges and phone books to help us get through the day.

We then took a look at what we know about the limits of humans when it comes to decision-making, motivation, influence and making healthier choices. Denise presnted 7 things we know about people and gave examples of either existing projects or concepts of how those factors could be used in the design of behaviour change programmes.

The presentation has been uploaded to SlideShare and can be viewed at this link... http://www.slideshare.net/denisehampson/commissioning-for-irrationality-nhs-confederation-conference-2011

Psychology of Health Behaviour Training for just £25 per person!

Our Psychology of Health Behaviour workshops are our most popular one-day training workshop and we have seen over 1,000 delegates who work in health and wellbeing in some capacity over the last 4 years. Due to the current financial climate we are doing more of these as in-house workshops for organisations who want to enjoy better cost effectiveness for their teams.

Here is an opportunity for you to enjoy this workshop from as little as £25 +VAT per person.

Typically the summer months are quiet time for team training as we take into account holidays and child care. To account for this, similar to our popular offer last summer, we have created a special offer for the month of August which will enable you to have up to 50% off the cost of a one-day in-house workshop for your team. But act quickly, because these dates will soon disappear.
