Title: Behaviour Change Theory as a tool to enhance
research and clinical practice in cleft palate: harnessing capability,
opportunity and motivation.
Behaviour change theory is widely used in implementation science to ensure normalisation of research into practice. Key goals in implementation are treatment fidelity, maintaining ‘active ingredients’, sustainability over time and normalisation into practice or policy. For over a decade I have used behavioural science to develop, evaluate and sustainably implement evidence based interventions, to explore normalisation of cross-organisation collaborations and to understand the barriers and enablers present in multi-disciplinary working and in communicative participation. In this talk I will give examples of how behaviour change theory, models and frameworks can be used to promote sustainable uptake of research findings into practice, monitor treatment fidelity, share good practice and influence policy.
