BASIL+ on The research room podcast!
We joined Lucy and Janine in The Research Room to share insights on the groundbreaking BASIL+ trial, the largest ever randomised controlled trial of its kind. Listen as we discuss our journey of adapting our brief psychological support into a fully remote, "telephone-first" intervention, co-produced alongside experts and people with lived experience. We explain how behavioural activation helps people reconnect with what brings value to their lives, and how our positive results are shaping the future of NHS care by moving from treatment to prevention.
