Health Psychologists apply psychological knowledge and skills in clinical and community settings. They contribute to the prevention of illness and the promotion of health and wellbeing, design and implement interventions to improve the experience and outcomes for those who are ill or disabled and for their carers, and help to shape policies and systems which impact on healthcare. This course covers the range of theory and knowledge that will underpin your understanding of the role of psychology in health care, as well as developing the personal skills that are required for professional work in the sector.  It takes evidence based practice as a framework for advancing your research skills with a focus on assessing issues, designing interventions and evaluating outcomes. You'll also analyse public health issues using large data sets, and using narrative and other qualitative methods in health psychology research.
