For those working within health psychology, and for others with an interest in it, professional events, publications, and training assist the advancement of the science and its translation into policy and practice. Professional networks can also strengthen the identity of health psychology, offering a home to those with an interest in the area. This chapter will discuss professional meetings, events, conferences, and networks of health psychology, alongside networks wider than health psychology that have evolved to facilitate interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary working and professionalisation. Key publications, including journals and newsletters, will be evaluated with an international lens on dissemination of health psychology. Training from professional societies and networks in relation to accredited routes in the field and continuing professional development (CPD) will further be discussed, and links to more formalised practice-based organisations such as the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the United Kingdom (UK) will be explored. The chapter will conclude with a discussion on the challenges to the professionalisation of health psychology, accompanied by potential solutions and examples of successes to date.

One prominent example is the “Primates in Peril: The World’s 25 Most Endangered Primates” list – the “Top 25 List.” It is published every two years by the Primate Specialist Group (PSG) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC), in collaboration with the International Primatological Society (IPS). Eighty-eight primates have appeared in the list’s 10 editions since it began in 2000 (Mittermeier, Konstant, & Rylands, 2000; Mittermeier et al., 2009, 2012; Schwitzer et al., 2014) (see Figure 7.1). The Top 25 List’s purpose is to draw worldwide attention to highly endangered primates. It targets not merely a supportive public, but governments, donors and funders, researchers, and conservation NGOs. Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/1893/32705 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
