Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The Decision Making and Organisation of Care (DMOC) research theme seeks to appoint a high calibre graduate to undertake a 3 year studentship in:
Creating and breaking habits in diabetes management consultations between health professionals and patients.
Implementing high quality diabetes care into routine practice involves health professionals adopting new, and changing existing, clinical behaviours whilst considering patient preferences. Recent work has highlighted that the degree to which clinical behaviour is habitually performed is a key and consistent predictor of healthcare professional behaviour. This project aims to better understand the role that habit plays on the behaviour of patients and health professionals in clinical consultations for diabetes management.
DMOC is a multidisciplinary research theme which brings together social and behavioural science and clinical expertise to conduct applied health research. Our research is concerned with three broad areas: Health experiences and interactions; Professional Practice and Organisation of Care; and Shared Decision Making. Our work spans a diverse range of clinical specialities and utilises a range of research methods and methodologies.
