This online workshop uses behavioural science to explain how people decide whether to participate in research. You’ll explore fast (System 1) and slow (System 2) thinking, map key recruitment decision points, and identify what drives awareness, interest, and confident consent, supporting an effective, ethical, and participant‑centred recruitment pathway.

For any questions about this session, please contact: Mili Kalia, EDI Manager, Mili.Kalia@ouh.nhs.uk

We will be repeating sessions in May to June!
