Professor Amanda Daley is a Research Professor of Behavioural Medicine and NIHR Research Professor in Public Health, leading the Centre for Lifestyle Medicine and Behaviour (CLiMB). Her work focuses on lifestyle interventions to improve health outcomes, particularly in NHS settings. She directs trials evaluating physical activity and weight management programs, including the Snacktivity initiative and PACE food labelling studies. Her research emphasizes randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and data analysis to address public health challenges. Key areas include obesity prevention, physical activity promotion, and integrating health screening into dental services. She leads major grants totaling over £4 million, including NIHR Programme Grants and a Research Professorship. Current projects explore PACE labelling efficacy and community-based interventions to reduce chronic disease risk.
Her research also addresses healthcare professional well-being, such as the impact of sit-stand desks on GPs' physical health. Collaborations with NHS and public health organizations ensure practical applications. Notable contributions include advancing methodologies for health intervention delivery and evaluating the equity impact of brief obesity interventions. Future work aims to expand PACE labelling initiatives and strengthen interdisciplinary approaches to lifestyle medicine.
Funding includes £2.2M for Snacktivity (2019–2027) and £1.8M NIHR Professorship (2019–2025). She co-leads a £0.4M study on weight management service experiences. Her grants prioritize translational research with real-world health system impact. Recent studies highlight public acceptance of new interventions and the need for tailored support in healthcare settings.
Key achievements include protocol development for weight management in postnatal women and innovative digital health tools like the Snacktivity App. Her work bridges clinical practice and population health, emphasizing scalable solutions for widespread health improvement.
