About the lecture
In her inaugural lecture, Professor Clemes will share her research – outlining the development and evaluation of pragmatic interventions designed to support people, of all ages, to sit less and move more.
A focus of the lecture will be her impactful research on professional drivers. She will provide an overview of the health inequalities experienced by HGV drivers – an essential, yet under-served, occupational group in terms of health promotion efforts.
She will describe the development, evaluation and implementation of the SHIFT programme, and her ongoing work which aims to change policy to create healthier working environments and cultures for all professional drivers – leading to improvements in drivers’ health and road safety.
