Susan Michie
Professor of Health Psychology, University College London Susan
Michie did her undergraduate and postgraduate training in experimental and developmental
psychology at the University of Oxford and her clinical psychology training at
the Institute of Psychiatry, University of London. She is a chartered clinical
and health psychologist, a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and of
the European Health Psychology Society, and past Chair of the BPS and past President
of the EHPS. She leads a health psychology research group at the BPS Centre
for Outcomes Research & Effectiveness, University College London, studying
the development and evaluation of theory-based interventions to change behaviour
in relation to health. This is conducted in two domains: professional practice
(e.g. the implementation of evidence-based guidelines) and risk factors amongst
the general population (e.g. 'lifestyle' behaviours). Current projects include
a hospital-based intervention to increase hand hygiene behaviours amongst staff,
an intervention to increase the uptake of the MMR vaccination in the general population,
and the design and evaluation of a community-based NHS Health Trainer behaviour
change programme, targeting "hard to reach" groups. Her policy work
includes a part-time secondment to the UK Department of Health to advise on public
health policy and practice. She is a member of several DoH committees and is a
member of NICE's Public Health Interventions Advisory Committee. | |
