Lia Willis
Research Assistant
I am a Research Assistant in the Health Behaviours Team. I joined in September 2023.
My academic background includes a BSc Psychology degree from the University of Birmingham and an MSc in Health Psychology from the University of Bath. I have experience working and conducting research in community health improvement services, primarily smoking cessation services. My previous roles have involved working with primary care to expand the reach and quality of smoking cessation interventions and ensure better health outcomes through educating HCAs, pharmacists and GPs.
My role within the team will primarily focus on assisting weight management studies and systematic reviews.
