Biography
Dr Lisa Jane Brighton has a BSc in Psychology from the University of Bath, and an MSc in Palliative Care and PhD in Health Services Research from King’s College London. She first worked in health research during her undergraduate placement at Dana-Farber / Harvard Cancer Centre in 2013, and began working at the Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care, Policy and Rehabilitation at King’s College London in 2014. During this time, Lisa’s research has focused on complex interventions including communication skills training for healthcare professionals, holistic services for people with chronic breathlessness, and most recently rehabilitation for people living with chronic respiratory disease. Lisa also co-developed the first online forum for public involvement in palliative care research, and co-chaired the Cicely Saunders Institute public involvement executive group 2018-2020. In 2022, she was awarded an ESRC post-doctoral fellowship to move to the Department of Psychology to progress work at the intersection of psychology and respiratory disease, with an initial focus on loneliness.
