In this course, you will ask questions about the important health problems facing our communities, from our aging population to challenging health services, global health challenges and health inequalities. You will explore personality disorders, health behavior change and neuropsychology and research methods. You will also look for ways to improve your health, illness and health care systems through the use of psychological and practical strategies.

Some of the topics to consider include factors that make a person more susceptible to conditions such as heart disease and why people stay on health care issues. You can use psychology to make sure children get enough physical activity, understand the experience of people with stroke, or how to help people with diabetes take their medication.

You may find yourself working with an NHS team, or a commercial, philanthropic or research organization. Alternatively, you may want to continue pursuing a PhD or trainer to become a qualified Health Psychologist.
