Dr Liz Steed

Dr Steed has worked in the field of Health Psychology using mixed method approaches for over 25 years.  She began her career at University College London completing a PhD before moving to clinical practice, setting up and delivering the health psychology service at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.   Here she worked with patients with common respiratory conditions such as COPD, Asthma and Interstitial Lung Disease as well as rarer lung conditions.   Since 2011 she has returned to academia holding a position within the School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London.  

Her academic interests have continued to focus on respiratory conditions with a particular focus on development and evaluation of complex psychological and behavioural interventions and more recently implementation.  Her recent projects have included large NIHR funded clinical trials such as TANDEM which explored cognitive behavioural approaches for COPD, IMP²ART an implementation trial focused on increasing supported self-management of asthma in primary care and STAMINA which implemented exercise within the prostate cancer pathway.
