Applying the Social Identity Approach to Leadership to Online Support Groups for Long Covid
Previous research has shown that online support groups for Long Covid may improve group members' wellbeing, but there is limited evidence on the role of group moderators in influencing such outcomes. Applying the social identity approach to leadership, this study sought to understand the extent to which group moderators display identity leadership and their role in influencing group members' health and wellbeing. Interviews were conducted with 10…
‘Prepare’ yourself
Given the challenges facing the UK in relation to health security, the development and evaluation of risk communication resources is essential to support public response and recovery to adverse events. While online resources are frequently utilised in emergency preparedness and response contexts, there is limited research focusing on the impact of these resources on attitudes and behaviours related to preparedness. The aim of the current study wa…
How Can We Improve Initial Public Response During Emergencies? Recommendations from a Systematic Review of Pre-Incident Information
This systematic review examines the effect of pre-incident information on public preparedness prior to an emergency or disaster. Preparing members of the public for adverse events can improve self-sufficiency and improve health outcomes, particularly during periods when emergency responders are not immediately available. Twenty-three studies were identified, addressing both natural and human-influenced events. All the studies investigated pre-inc…
Evaluation of psychology-based training for improving interoperability in the emergency services
Recent research highlights the need for a psychological understanding of interoperability in multi-agency emergency response to address ongoing issues and prevent future problems. We developed a psychology-based training to improve interoperability using theory and evidence from the Social Identity Approach. We evaluated its effectiveness and optimal delivery method with 65 emergency responders from UK Police ( N =8), Fire and Rescue ( N =12), an…

How the Social Identity Approach Can Improve Interoperability in Multi‐Agency Emergency Response Teams
Major incident inquiries and research highlight persistent problems in interoperability. Evidence points to failures in the ability of responders from different organisations to work effectively together, which hinders collaborative efforts. Recently, researchers have argued that one reason why collaboration problems exist when different teams are required to work together is due to multiple identities within the overarching team. Whilst this per…
Evaluating Ten Second Triage
This article is an example of ‘Lessons from the Field’. Recent inquests following major incidents in the United Kingdom have criticised the ‘care gap’—the time period between an incident occurring and emergency services accessing casualties to deliver life‐saving interventions. To address this, Ten Second Triage (TST) was developed in the United Kingdom to facilitate rapid non‐physiological assessments by any first responder, regardless of their …
Evaluation of a new prehospital major incident triage tool
During mass casualty incidents, the first Ambulance responders on scene face critical decisions about who receives medical treatment first. Effective clinical management of such incidents relies on triage, which prioritises patients based on injury severity, available resources, and the number of casualties. Various decision-making tools have been developed to assist emergency responders with triage decisions. However, there have been concerns ra…
Online support groups, social identity, and the health and wellbeing of adults with Long Covid
As many individuals with Long Covid are left without formal support, they have turned to online support groups for help. In a pre‐registered study, interviews were carried out with 21 adults with Long Covid to explore experiences of using online support groups, to understand whether participants felt these experiences influenced their health and wellbeing, and to identify whether group members developed a shared social identity. The reported bene…
Exploring the relationship between shared identity and interoperability
Previous research has shown ongoing difficulties between Police, Fire and Rescue, and Ambulance Service responders during multi-agency emergencies. Recently, researchers have used the Social Identity Approach to gain insight into these challenges, offering a psychological framework for understanding relations within and between response organisations. This study builds upon previous work by engaging responders from the emergency services in six d…
The role of pre-incident information and responder communication in effective management of casualties, including members of vulnerable groups, during a decontamination field exercise
Understanding levels of compliance with emergency responder instructions for members of the Public involved in emergencies
It is essential to understand how members of the public make decisions during emergencies. Such understanding is crucial in order to understand how emergency services can best influence positive protective behaviours. Previous research in this area has indicated that members of the public will respond both to the threat from an incident such as a fire as well the way the threat is managed by emergency responders and that this management will be c…
Thematic analysis of national online narratives on regular asymptomatic testing for Covid-19 in schools in England
Parents and children would benefit from additional practical and social support to facilitate engagement with the schools testing programme
Advancing a social identity perspective on interoperability in the emergency services
Previous research shows there are persistent challenges with multi-agency response centring on problems of communication and coordination. The Social Identity Approach provides an important psychological framework for analysing relations within and between groups which can be used to understand why challenges in multi-agency response occur, and what can be done to prevent them re-occurring in the future. To explore this issue, we conducted semi-s…
The social media response to twice-weekly mass asymptomatic testing in England
Overall, the comments identified indicated predominately negative attitudes towards the twice weekly testing policy. Several recommendations can be made to improve engagement with twice weekly testing, including: 1) communicate openly and honestly about the purpose of testing; 2) provide information about the accuracy of tests; 3) provide financial support for those required to self-isolate, and; 4) emphasise accessibility of testing
Recommendations for improving public engagement with pre-incident information materials for initial response to a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) incident
Facilitating Collective Psychosocial Resilience in the Public in Emergencies
Accumulated evidence demonstrates the centrality of social psychology to the behaviour of members of the public as immediate responders in emergencies. Such public behaviour is a function of social psychological processes – in particular identities and norms. In addition, what the authorities and relevant professional groups assume about the social psychology of people in emergencies shapes policy and practice in preparedness, response and recove…
Public perceptions of pre-incident information campaign materials for the initial response to a chemical incident
In the event of a hazardous chemical release incident in the UK, affected members of the public would undergo improvised and interim forms of decontamination (the ‘Initial Operational Response’ [IOR]). To enable members of the public to take recommended actions quickly, the Home Office and National CBRN Centre have developed the ‘Remove, Remove, Remove’ pre-incident information campaign. This is designed to raise awareness amongst a broad range o…
The effect of communication during mass decontamination
Purpose Reports from small‐scale incidents in which decontamination was conducted suggest that a successful communication strategy is vital in order to increase public compliance with, and reduce public anxiety about, decontamination. However, it has not been possible to examine public behaviour during large scale incidents involving decontamination. The aim of the research reported here was to examine the relationship between people's positive p…
Reassuring and managing patients with concerns about swine flu
Future major incidents involving other forms of chemical, biological or radiological hazards may also cause large numbers of unexposed people to seek health advice. Our data suggest that providing telephone triage and information is helpful in such instances, particularly where advice can be given via a trusted, pre-existing service
