Applying behavioural frameworks to ‘real-life’ patient care within translational science: Reflections on our Behavioural Science and Complex Interventions (BSCI) module
Last year three students – Petya Zyumbileva (left), Magdalene Mawugbe (centre) and Sachi Chan (right) took the ‘Behavioural Science and Complex Intervention’ (BSCI) module, which can be taken as part of the MSc in Translational Health Sciences or as a standalone short course. During their studies, they learned how behavioural theories can inform the development of complex interventions. In this Q&A blog, Petya, Magdalene and Sachi share how this unique approach to behavioural science has altered their perspectives regarding behavioural interventions.
Embrace the discomfort to catalyse change: July edition of the Decolonising Global Health blog series
In the July edition of our 12-part Decolonising Global Health blog series, MSc in Translational Health Sciences alumna and incoming DPhil candidate Sarah Alkandari is joined by guest author Dr Sridhar Venkatapuram to explore why talking about decolonising global health can feel uncomfortable – and why that discomfort matters. Together, they examine the colonial roots of the field, the challenges of meaningful change and whether the field can be changed from within, or if real progress means starting from a new foundation.
