Transforming evidence into meaningful, lasting change in health and care requires more than knowledge, it requires understanding behaviour and how change happens in real-world settings.
At The School of Health Sciences, our Behaviour Change and Implementation Science portfolio brings together cutting-edge research, practical application, and professional development to support individuals and organisations in achieving effective, sustainable improvement.
Behaviour Change focuses on understanding why people behave the way they do and how to support them to change. This includes exploring motivation, capability, habits, and the social and environmental factors that influence actions.
Implementation science takes this further by examining how evidence-based practices, innovations, and interventions can be successfully introduced, scaled, and sustained in complex systems such as healthcare, public health, and organisational settings.
Together, these complementary fields help bridge the gap between what we know works and what happens in practice.
