SUMMARY:Why People Say Yes (or No): The Psychology of Trial Participation
DESCRIPTION:Colleagues are welcome to join this online workshop applies behavioural science to the real-world decisions people make about taking part in research. You’ll be introduced to fast\, automatic thinking (System 1) and slow\, deliberate thinking (System 2) and use them to map key decision points across the recruitment journey. You’ll identify what can drive early awareness and interest in research\, and what supports a confident\, well-informed decision at consent\, so the recruitment pathway can be designed to be both effective and ethically robust. \nThe workshop includes short reflective exercises to increase awareness of how unconscious bias\, assumptions\, and “snap judgements” can influence the behaviour of research staff. You will leave with practical actions to help move unconscious bias into conscious awareness to help support informed\, inclusive research design. \nBy the end of the workshop\, you will be able to:\n\nIdentify common cognitive biases and where they can show up in recruitment and consent pathways.\nRecognise how cultural and social influences can affect decision-making.\nExplore your own decision-making defaults and use simple techniques to bring fast judgments into awareness.\nApply behavioural science to design clearer\, more motivating participant communications (e.g.\, recruitment adverts).Read more and register

SUMMARY:New hope for bipolar disorder: the evidence you need now
DESCRIPTION:Join us on World Bipolar Day for an evidence-based webinar on bipolar disorder\, hosted by the Mental Elf. \n\n\n\n\nBipolar disorder affects approximately 1-2% of the population and is characterised by recurrent episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. It’s associated with significant functional impairment\, high rates of co-morbidity\, and reduced life expectancy. \nDespite effective treatments being available\, many people experience delayed diagnosis\, inadequate treatment\, and frequent relapses. Access to specialist care is inconsistent across the UK. Long-term outcomes remain poor for many\, with residual symptoms and social disability common even between episodes. \nSystem-level barriers\, including late diagnosis in primary care\, limited access to psychological therapies\, and poor integration between physical and mental health services\, prevent people from receiving optimal care. \nThis webinar is delivered in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Mental Health Translational Research Collaboration (MH-TRC) Mission Mood Disorder Network. \nMore information and registration on Eventbrite.
