UK Society of Behavioural Medicine


We are a network of academics, clinical and health services researchers interested in applying behavioural science to improve the health and well-being of the UK population. Our interdisciplinary field draws together experts in behavioural science, medicine, nutrition, exercise, social science, epidemiology, public health, psychology and health services research. Together, we pursue knowledge to inform the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of illness. Our society and its members can offer the research, practitioner and policy-making communities informed opinions and robust evidence of regional, national and international importance and we actively seek to inform national policy and guidance relevant to our field. Membership provides an exciting opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange of ideas in order to improve heath and prevent disease.
