Keynotes

Prof. Orla Muldoon: Stressing Groups: A Social Psychology of Health and Medicine

Orla Muldoon is founding Professor of Psychology at the University of Limerick. She is interested in how social contexts and in particular social systems and structures can shape behaviour, attitudes and health. In the USA and elsewhere this is often called political psychology as many of our systems and structures are shaped by power, status and cultural forces. These same cultural forces, are often not interrogated because they are assumed and acceptable in wider society. She currently holds an ERC Advanced grant that explores whether adversity, trauma and its psychological consequences are driven by social identity change, as well as an HRB-IRC funded project that is exploring the value of social solidarity to public adherence to health messaging during COVID19.


Prof. Felix Naughton: Maximising the effectiveness and impact of digital behaviour change interventions

Felix Naughton is Professor of Health Psychology within the School of Health Sciences, University of East Anglia, and a registered Health Psychologist. He has a key research interest in the development and evaluation of digital interventions to promote and support health behaviour change and leads a research programme focused on mobile phone-based smoking cessation interventions. He is particularly interested in innovative technology-mediated approaches to changing behaviour, such as through Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs). Felix has served as a topic expert on behaviour change related NICE advisory committees and has recently been appointed as an expert advisor for the NICE Centre of Guidelines.
