Astrid Coxon, University of East Anglia:
“Why training doesn’t work”

This talk will give an overview of the “transfer of training” problem, looking at why, despite our best efforts, training can often fail to change the way we work. Using practical examples from everyday life and from research, Astrid will show the good, the bad and the ugly of training interventions. She will highlight the barriers to successful training implementation, what might be to blame when training falls flat, and suggest simple changes that everyone can make to help improve the outcomes of training on an individual level.

Astrid Coxon is a first year phD student at the University of East Anglia, and a Health Psychology trainee. Her current research interests include self-efficacy, stress, and team dynamics in healthcare professionals.

The talk will be held in the function room in Wig & Pen pub.
The venue is wheelchair accessible.
