A core activity of the BHFNC is undertaking research and evaluation to further our understanding of healthy lifestyles and the role of health practitioners in promoting physical activity.
Evaluation is an important component of any intervention as it provides information about the effectiveness/ impact of a programme, including what worked and didn't work, and why, which can assist in improving the design and delivery of programmes.
The BHFNC is involved in the evaluation of health promotion interventions at both the regional and national level and is committed to conducting high quality evaluations in order to identify best practice and inform policy.
The reputation built up by the BHFNC has resulted in many leading national organisations and government departments seeking the involvement of the Centre in their work on physical activity. This includes projects in the natural environment, primary health care settings, and in local communities, schools and worksites.
