Lucy completed her PhD in Psychological Medicine at King's College London (2022-2025), investigating the implementation of FREED across England and the theoretical assumptions underpinning early intervention for eating disorders. She previously completed an MSc in Psychiatric Research at King's College London in 2021. Her research interests include implementation science, service evaluation, and equitable access to eating disorder care. Alongside her academic work, Lucy volunteered for several years as an ambassador for the eating disorder charity Beat.
