Summary
Health psychology investigates how the way we behave influences health, illness and how we care for people living with long-term conditions.
A health psychologist uses their knowledge of psychology to understand health behaviours and to develop psychological interventions to support behaviour change. They perform a vital role in a variety of areas such as:
- Assisting patients with their emotional and psychological needs.
- Working alongside healthcare professionals to help them establish clear communication and productive relationships with patients.
- Working with health and social care organisations to develop protocols to engender good health and wellbeing.
