Health Psychology is a relative new, still evolving discipline that is concerned with the practice and application of psychological theories to the promotion and maintenance of health, the prevention and treatment of illness, and the analysis and improvement of the health care system and policy.
Health Psychology is one of the fastest growing areas of theory and research in psychology.

Chartered health psychologists offer many of these services and are increasingly working in the community carrying out health promotion and education, in acute care, in palliative care and in health audit.
