The NES Trainee Health Psychology Programme Conference: Showcasing Trainees’ Contribution to NHSScotland Over 15 Years takes place on Wednesday 15 November.

The hybrid conference will celebrate the NES-funded programme and highlight the contribution of health psychology across NHS Scotland spanning a variety of areas such as:

  • diabetes
  • substance use
  • dentistry
  • pain management

On the day, academic health psychology expertise, former trainees now working in NHS Scotland, current trainees and supervisors will give a glimpse of their work in applied settings and share their experiences.

We will welcome guest speakers from near and far who will discuss significant research from the field of behaviour change. We will also hear about exciting health psychology developments south of the border as well as share updates from our own homegrown NES training programme, looking back on the journey from initiation to where we are today.
