Dear all,
The Midlands Health Psychology Network (MHPN) committee invites you to attend our annual conference to be held at the Centre for Professional Development, The University of Birmingham, on Thursday 14th February 2013. This venue will host two fantastic keynote speakers:
• Prof Gill Furze (Coventry University) will be talking about the role of beliefs in cardiovascular disease
• Prof Roger Ingham (The University of Southampton) will be talking about sexual health and young people
We are also pleased to announce that Dr Tony Cassidy, chair of the BPS Division of Health Psychology, will be giving an opening talk at the conference.
We will also be hosting oral presentations and poster presentations. A few highlights from last year’s conference are:
• Behavioural prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the NHS
• The impact of eHealth technologies upon sexual health
• Young adults’ experiences of living with a life-shortening condition
The call for abstracts has been extended, with this year’s theme being “Matters of the Heart”. Abstracts relating to all aspects of health psychology and related topics are welcomed from individuals at any stage in their research career. The MHPN is growing and with the conference open to members and non-members alike, this is a great opportunity for researchers in the Midlands to showcase their work to a varied and friendly audience. Please visit www.mhpn.co.uk for more information about how to submit. The extended deadline for submission is Friday December 7th 2012.
Best wishes
Bethan Davies and Elaine Walklet
