Changes in human behaviour are at the heart of any response to the current epidemic of chronic disease. Health psychologists are in a unique position to address these major public health challenges, but need to focus efforts on maximising the scale of our impact. Training frontline health and social care practitioners of every type to deliver evidence-based behaviour change support to patients and clients is an approach with great potential in this regard.
