This episode welcomes award-winning communicators Nicola Bonas, Keri Ross and Amanda Nash. Nicola and Keri both work at NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning group soon to be Integrated Care System for Devon. Nicola is the Associate director of communications, involvement and inclusion and Keri Ross is the Senior communications manager. Amanda is based frontline as Head of communications at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. This is a jam-packed episode! The theme for this show was winter pressures but as you will hear we cover so much more than that including 1: the importance of marketing as a system. “working as one team with one plan that we all contribute to has been definitely something that we've continued to grow and seen massive success from” Nicola Bonas 2: From the pre-pandemic days. Nicola shares her experience of developing the childhood flu vaccination campaign #thumbsupforcoby. This campaign was based on the tragic death of young Cobi, and driven by his parents. “it came from a really real place, two parents experience and a community behind them is what led it to be successful” Nicola Bona 3: Winters here Jon Snow! It's all year round. For two reasons increased demand is all year resetting social norms takes all year “Winter did used to be a very defined time period with a very defined set of pressures that came with it I think those pressures now run right through the years and they have been for the last few years” Keri Ross 4: Insight is the core to the message development. Insight tips from Keri include good relationships with voluntary sector organisations, community groups and networks to draw down resources and expertise such as the Academic Health Science Networks. “Insight is really the core of everything we then design and develop. We need to understand what peoples experiences are of services and what their understanding of services to really know how to reach them and design something that will connect with them and make a difference.” Keri Ross 5: Case study: Think 111 is a campaign built out from insight. An understanding of the need to reset social norms, make it easy and reach people all year round – when they are not in an emergency situation. The team worked with Healthwatch to run qualitative research sessions to understand their audience and why they had attended the Emergency Department. Because the team evaluates they know that 78% people had tried another service before attending the Emergency Department. The constant pressure is keeping up with demand 6: Understanding people is at the heart of what we do: You can do this by reviewing published work too. Lift and shift! “Insight is core to behavioural change, its about understanding the people whose behaviour you are looking to change, understanding what motivates them, what barriers they face and what will drive them and sustain them - intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. That's what we're good at – we always come back to – what do the people that we are trying to influence what are they currently doing and why?” 7: Case study: Reducing Do Not Attends (DNAs) at outpatient appointments Amanda used the learning from a randomised control study at Barts Hospital (2015) that successfully reduced DNA's by 3% following some simple word changes in outpatient text message reminders. Text-based reminders: (messaging not exact) Control group received a reminder along the lines of “Remember you have your appointment at xxx on xxxx” Easy-call group received a reminder along the lines of “your appointment is xxx at xxx to cancel or rearrange call” Social norms group received a reminder along the lines of “we expect to see you at xxx at xxxx date 9 out of 10 people attend.” Specific costs “we are expecting you to attend xxxx not attending costs the NHS xxx ££ xxxx per missed appointment call if you don't want to attend” Plymouth University Hospital achieved their lowest ever rate of DNA's to new and follow-up appointments.

[NOTE: This episode is republished from #50 in January 2019.] Robert Cialdini, PhD is counted among the greatest psychological researchers alive today and his published works have been cited thousands of times. His New York Times best-selling book, Influence, from 1984, is considered a classic for classroom and corporate use alike. He is an ardent author and a passionate professor, and his work has impacted millions. In short, Bob Cialdini has shaped the landscape of how sales and marketing workers do their jobs and how researchers frame their studies. In this episode of Behavioral Grooves, Bob took a few minutes to discuss some of his most underappreciated research and some of the new things he’s working on. We began with a study that used littering as a way to predict, before the polls closed, the outcome of an election by watching how voters treated candidate fliers left on their cars. One of the very elegant aspects of this study was that it required no surveys – merely the observation of behaviors in the parking lots of the polling places. The question the researchers sought to answer was this: How do voters treat the fliers of candidates they favor and of those they oppose? More specifically, do voters keep fliers from candidates they like and litter with the fliers of candidates they dislike?   Then, our conversation moved to a line of research that he’d investigated for over a decade: the motivations for pro-social behavior, such as giving to those in need. Bob reminds us that there are many motivators at play when one person helps out another, as when a passerby gives money to some asking for money on the street, but there is one motivator that stands out: egoism. Many of us believe that being charitable is an obligation or is driven by guilt, and while that is true to some degree, Bob’s collective research over more than a dozen years revealed that egoism, that selfish desire to feel good about ourselves, is at the heart of helping others. Then we went a step farther. Bob noted that helping others is more likely to occur when the person in need appears to be in-group or in-tribe. In other words, we’re more likely to be charitable if it appears the person asking for help is “like me.” The primary way we decide if someone is like us is to look at how they’re dressed. What kind of clothes are they wearing? In his studies, Bob found that soccer (football) fans were more likely to assist someone on the street if they were wearing the jersey of their favorite team. It’s unnerving to think that the clothes you wear could determine whether someone helps you or not. In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim discussed the impact of social identity and self-identity. We discussed articles by Michael Hogg and Roy Baumeister. We brought in books by Harvard Professor Teresa Amabile and Dan Levitan’s great treatise on the neurological effects of music. And on music, we chatted about how music makes us feel and we cited Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and Beethoven’s 5th Symphony as examples. Lastly, Bob is interested in hearing from YOU! He’d like listeners to send reports on how the principles of influence are being used in the real world to be included in his next book.

Change, especially relentless change, can make people feel uncertain about themselves, their identity, and the world they live in. Michael Hogg illuminated the appeal of extremist groups in times of uncertainty and illustrated under which conditions extremist groups become tremendously attractive.
