Spotlight on... Dr Emily McBride

This week we meet Dr Emily McBride - Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Behavioural Science and Health - who chats to us about winning an award from Public Health England and NIHR for Best Public Health Professional Researcher of 2019-20. What is your role and what does it involve?. I am a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Behavioural Science and Health, completing an NIHR Fellowship in cervical cancer communication and prevention. In terms of my background, I trained as a Health Psychologist in the NHS and hold a PhD in Behavioural Science from UCL. I enjoy a varied role at UCL and work across different projects with often diverse responsibilities. Mostly, I conduct research examining psychological aspects of living with physical health conditions or on using behavioural science to prevent illness and disease. I also spend a lot of time working on policy impact projects and engaging with health policymakers in the UK Government and national authorities.
