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 13th June at 3pm, where we have Dr Lesley Lewis from the Behavioural Science Unit at Somerset Council presenting on ‘Applying health psychology within public health: influencing population health interventions’.
Dr Lesley Lewis, a Registered Health Psychologist, leads the Behavioural Science Unit in Somerset Council's Public Health Team. With over a decade of experience in public health and behaviour change, Lesley specialises in translating research into practice, applying behavioural science theories and techniques across a range of public health initiatives.
