Funded Activity Summary

Overuse of healthcare (use of unnecessary tests and treatments) is harming patients and diverting scarce health resources from where they are most needed. Effective communication of the problem to the public, patients, clinicians and policymakers is a prerequisite for behaviour change. This fellowship will develop a suite of communication-based interventions to reduce overuse and build a multidisciplinary workforce of researchers to address this urgent problem facing health systems globally.
