"You can't hire knowledge, you must grow it" - Discussing EPs as change agents working with Educational Organisations with Dr Gavin Morgan
In this episode I chat with Gavin Morgan, an Educational Psychologist, Academic Tutor and member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group, who helped the Government make evidence based decisions during the pandemic. It was fascinating conversation and explored the different types of role taken up by EPs as facilitators of change to outright advocates for change.
