The @NIHR_PRUBaSS was at #EvidenceWeek in Parliament this week with @senseaboutscience to present research evidence on effective complaints handling in the NHS to MPs, peers and parliamentary staff. We discussed our latest findings to help them scrutinise government policy in this area.

Our first 2025 publication is out 🔓 We explored whether presenting less attractive 'decoy' options for Covid-19 vaccination appointments increased people's intention to get the vaccine. We found that use of decoys could increase uptake in some people. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My brilliant colleagues in the @nihr-pru-bass.bsky.social have been getting more research out in the last few weeks! This is a paper led by @viviantonop.bsky.social looking at how healthcare professionals manage complaints, and how they were responded to in a healthcare setting 👇

Very pleased to share our latest publication on healthcare professionals’ responses to complaints - a qualitative interview study with service users and HCPs.

🚨 New paper: the COM-B model and TDF were applied to explore healthcare professional and patient & carer views on complaints' management. The findings highlight the importance of strong support systems andorganisational openness to patient feedback. 🔗https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.70118
