Michelle Hadjiconstantinou
I am the Lead Chartered Psychologist for the Leicester Diabetes Centre, and a Behavioural Scientist at the University of Leicester. I hold over ten years of research experience in diabetes prevention, and self-management and hold an established portfolio in qualitative research methods. My main research interests are in intervention development, behaviour change and the psychosocial aspects of living with diabetes. In addition to my research capacity, I also co-lead the Self-Management module for the University of Leicester MSc Diabetes course, and supervise MSc and PhD students.
