"TEnT PEGS is a great tool to help healthcare professionals support their patients with behaviour change. It combines evidence-based rigour with helpful examples of how these behaviour change techniques can be implemented in practice. We have used it in our behaviour change training sessions with healthcare professionals, and have heard from attendees that the framework fits in harmoniously with other training that professionals have received. This just shows how easily TEnT PEGS can be adapted and used in patient conversations."
