Summary
I've worked at Sheffield Hallam since 2000 and led the introduction of Health Psychology into the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. I am a registered health psychologist with expertise in the development and evaluation of theory-informed interventions to promote behaviour change and maintenance. I am the Director of the Centre for Behavioural Science and Applied Psychology (CeBSAP).
About
I am Director of the Centre for Behavioural Science and Applied Psychology that launched in 2018 where I lead the behavioural science, behaviour change and well-being theme.
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2000 and was promoted to Professor of Health Psychology in 2015. I became a Chartered Psychologist in 2003 and am registered by the Health and Care Professions council as a Health Psychologist. I am also on the Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I am co-editor-in-chief of the British Journal of Health Psychology (2018-present) and co-chair of the Yorkshire and Humber Public Health Network Behavioural Science Hub. I am also a member of the British Psychological Society COVID-19 Behavioural Science and Disease Prevention Taskforce. I teach Health Psychology as part of the MSc Health Psychology and supervise PhD students in health behaviours and behaviour change.
My particular interests in Health Psychology focus on the development and evaluation of behaviour change and maintenance interventions across a broad range of health behaviours including; medication adherence smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, physical activity, dietary behaviours and safe sex behaviours. My methodological expertise centres around questionnaire design, qualitative framework analysis and randomised controlled trials and the development and testing of complex theory-based interventions, including assessment of fidelity.
Teaching
Department of Psychology, Sociology and Politics
College of Social Sciences and Arts
I teach Health Psychology in the Department of Psychology, Sociology & Politics and supervise Masters and PhD projects in health psychology and behavioural science.
Research
I am currently involved in a number of research projects which include:
Developing and evaluating an intervention to support adherence to treatment in adults with cystic fibrosis (CFHealthHub). I am leading the behaviour change intervention development lead for this project which is funded by NIHR Programme Grant for Applied Research.
Doncaster local delivery pilot - investigating physical inactivity in disadvantages communities in Doncaster. I am the principal investigator for this project which is part of the work of the Behavioural Science Consortium. This project is informed by the COM-B model and investigate the capability, opportunity and motivation factors that impact on people's physical activity. The research encompasses a survey, qualitative work undertaken by community explorers, and co-design workshops
