Research Involvement and Engagement is an interdisciplinary, health and social care journal focusing on patient and wider involvement and engagement in research, at all stages.

Research for All is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on research that involves universities and communities, services or industries working together. Contributors and readers are from both inside and outside of higher education.

West Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative and NIHR CLAHRC West Midlands are pleased to announce the first Nudgeathon in association with Warwick Business School.

Thursday 30 & Friday 31 March 2017 - 08.30 - 17.30 at Warwick Business School

This fun free event will for the first time bring together top behavioural science students from across the UK to work with NHS staff to use nudge theory to solve ‘real world’ healthcare problems. Nudge theory is widely used across a wide range of contexts, including the Cabinet Office who have a British Behavioural Insights Team. The idea is to use positive reinforcement and indirect suggestion to improve decision making or compliance. Participants will work in teams to come up with solutions to patient safety problems based around a chosen topic which this year is atrial fibrillation (AF).
