Biography

Hayden McRobbie is a health behaviour change expert specializing in tobacco and obesity. He graduated with a degree in medicine and surgery from the University of Otago in 1996. After working in general medicine and surgery, he moved to the UK to join the Tobacco Dependence Research Unit at the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, where he completed his PhD in Medical Psychology, focusing on tobacco withdrawal symptomatology. With extensive experience in conducting large randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and surveys, he has centered his research on two main areas: the treatment of tobacco dependence, particularly with current interest in electronic cigarettes and digital strategies, and behavioural interventions for weight management. As a Professor at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre of the University of New South Wales, Australia, he is also a consultant in lifestyle medicine for Lakes District Health Board, New Zealand, and a Fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine. Over the past ten years, Hayden has played a pivotal role in tobacco control initiatives in New Zealand and has been a Clinical Champion for Child Obesity with the New Zealand Ministry of Health.
