Dr Joanna Hudson PhD, MSc, BSc, PGDip

I joined King’s College London in 2013. My work focuses on developing, testing, and implementing digital therapies for people experiencing depression and/or anxiety in response to living with physical long-term condition(s). I enjoy the challenge of translating research into routine clinical care, supporting the adoption of this process, and evaluating it scientifically. An example of one of the interventions I developed with a team of academic clinicians at King’s College London can be found here: https://compassltcorg.wordpress.com/

My research compliments my teaching role within the IoPPN at King’s College London. I am programme lead for the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Long-Term Conditions and Persistent Physical Symptom training programme.
