Upcoming PBA Workshops

We now have two refreshed online courses, both packed with new content, and we’d love for you to join!

Both the University of Southampton and the University of Bristol offer these free, interactive workshops. Booking onto either course will give you:

• A clear overview of the PBA process
• An introduction to the key methods used
• Real-life examples of how these methods can be applied across public health, community, and healthcare settings
• Interactive small-group activities to try things out and share ideas

Both courses cover:

• Intervention planning and co-production - blending theory, qualitative research, and co-production with PPIE and other stakeholders
• Using AI to help draft intervention content and materials
• Optimising interventions with think-aloud studies
• Mixed-methods evaluation of real-world implementation

Southampton PBA course (4 hours)

• Focus on primary care applications and in-depth qualitative research
• Facilitated by Dr Rosie Essery and Dr Hannah Bowers

Bristol PBA and ACE course (2.5 hours)

• Shorter introduction with emphasis on a wider range of settings and rapid intervention development
• Facilitated by Professor Lucy Yardley and Dr. Cynthia Ochieng

You can see all the current dates and book your spot in the table below.
