Conference Chair

   

National Conference Chair - Dr. Debbie Smith

Committee role:

The Division of Health Psychology National Conference Chair co-chairs the Division’s Annual Conference which is held each year in September. The role is involved in all aspects of the conference organisation, from being on the Conference Scientific Committee to managing the budget, to liaising with many different people in health psychology, the BPS and the conference hosting site.


Job title at place of work:

Research Associate

I am a Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health Professionals Council, a Chartered Health Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and have a PhD in Health Psychology.


My research interests include the application of behaviour change theory to interventions in applied contexts (e.g., clinical setting and community-based), sexual and reproductive health, socio-economic inequalities in health and illness outcomes, inequalities in the access and availability of health services, inequalities in maternal and fetal health decisions and the influence of psychological factors in maternal and fetal decisions. In my current role as project coordinator of a series of multi-centre studies, I have had the opportunity to apply health psychology theory to the design of a lifestyle programme that aims to improve the health of obese pregnant women.
