Real World Behavioural Science
Welcome to the Real World Behavioural Science (RWBS) podcast, where we look at how behavioural and social sciences are being used in the real world.
We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the BSPHN Real World Behavioural Science Podcast! After a hiatus, we are returning with fresh energy, a new hosting duo, and a mission to bring you the latest thinking in applied behavioural science.
The RWBS podcast is created by the Behavioural Science and Public Health Network (www.BSPHN.org.uk) and is aimed at people working in public health, academia and industry, who have an interest in how behavioural science is being used to improve health and wellbeing.
Each month, Dr Paul Chadwick (CEO of the BSPHN) and Dr Tiago Moutela (Associate Director at Claremont), interview professionals from the worlds of public health, academia and industry.

Professor Jim McManus (Director of Public Health) - Real World Behavioural Science
Professor Jim McManus has over thirty years experience in the public health industry. This all started as a volunteer and a service provider driven by a passion for psychology and a desire to be socially useful.
He is now the Director of Public Health at Hertfordshire County Council and vice President of the Association of Directors of Public Health. He is a Chartered Psychologist, British Psychological Society Fellow and co-founder and chair of the Behavioural Science and Public Health Network. Jim is also a visiting professor at both the London School of Economics and the University of Hertfordshire and completed six years as deputy chair of the National Institute for Health Research Public Health Advisory Board.
Obviously Jim has a lot of experience across the public health world, but he manages to communicate this in the first RWBS podcast in an interesting and humorous way.
