Dr Fiona Gillison is a Chartered Psychologist (Health) and Reader in Health and Exercise Psychology at the University of Bath. Before coming to Bath to take up her PhD, Fiona spent nine years in different roles in a community setting that provided a valuable introduction to many of the causes and realities of health choices and health inequalities. Her primary research interest is in investigating how we can support people to improve their health behaviours to prevent and reduce obesity. She works at both at an individual and population level, and her recent focus has been in exploring the positive and negative effects of policy on people’s motivation to adopt healthier lifestyles. Fiona is currently the Head of the Department for Health at the University of Bath, and is an academic advisor to the Public Health England National Child Measurement Programme board.
