Health Behaviour Change: An evidence based approach

A two-day course for health and social care professionals

MONDAY 4 FEBRUARY AND MONDAY 4 MARCH 2013

Overview

Improving the health behaviours of patients and clients is a constant challenge for practitioners working in health care settings.

The Institute of Psychological Sciences at the University of Leeds has created a unique evidence-based course which will enhance the skills of health and social care professionals to better understand and facilitate behaviour change.

"This exciting programme offers the opportunity for staff to feel 'confident and competent' to make every contact count in every day practice. Education programmes, like this one, are critical to achieving both regional and national ambitions to embed behaviour change practice and deliver quality outcomes for individuals, families, communities and populations."
Karen Payne: Senior Programme Lead - Partner Liaison Leadership Academy.
