The Behaviour Change Meeting Group at The University of Manchester has the purpose of bringing together academics and clinicians across several institutes who are working with behaviour change, intervention development and/or implementation theory. We usually meet online on the first Thursday of the month at 3pm, inviting external speakers and internal speakers to discuss and gain feedback on their latest research in the field. We have a range of health and clinical psychologists in the group as well as epidemiologists, nurses and physiotherapists who work with a range of different short-term and long-term conditions in different contexts (public, patient and healthcare professional groups).
If you would like to be added to the email list to hear about future meetings, please contact Rhiannon Hawkes: rhiannon.hawkes@manchester.ac.uk
Our next Behaviour Change Meeting will be held on Thursday 4th June 2026 at 3pm , where we have Prof Felix Naughton from the University of East Anglia presenting on ‘Translating counselling delivery from humans to an AI chatbot: an example from smoking cessation’.

He is co-lead of the UEA Addictions Research Group and has a keen research interest in the development and evaluation of digital interventions to promote and support health behaviour change, particularly innovative technology-mediated approaches, such as Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions. He leads a research programme focused on mobile phone-based smoking cessation interventions.
