Abstract
Behavioural Science Recommendations
Accessing appropriate healthcare can benefit both physical and psychological health. It is influenced by what we know and what we can do (capability); people around us and our physical environment (opportunity); and our beliefs, what we want, how we regulate our emotions, and our habit (motivation).
To support changes since COVID-19:
● Provide clear communications on changes to health care services since COVID-19 and how to access them,
● Where needed, proactively put in place strategies to mitigate influences that would stop patients accessing appropriate health care,
● Use patient communications to address key barriers to accessing health care,
● Facilitate the planning of, and adherence to, attending health care appointments in the event of unpredictable circumstances,
● Promote the benefits and importance of accessing appropriate health care for physical and psychological health.
We recommend following the British Psychological Society’s Behavioural Science and Disease Prevention: Psychological guidance4 to shape any policy and/or communications strategy.
