Lucy
My name is Lucy and I am a gastroenterology registrar.
I completed basic physician training at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in 2020 and will be starting advanced training in gastroenterology in 2023.
I am in the second year of my PhD through the University of Queensland, undertaken at the centre for liver disease research. The focus of my research is on improving the care of patients with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Research to me is more than drug trials, it’s about trying out new ideas to find the best way of doing things. I am interested in looking at our health system and trying out ideas to make it more efficient and reliable for our community.

We are a Brisbane based research team working in healthcare delivery for people who could have a liver disease.
Our team goal is to make health care more accessible for everyone. We want to work with general practitioners to improve the patient experience from community to hospital care.
Blog Posts
I write about recent journal articles and practice updates on metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD/NAFLD).
How to get involved

Our current project is looking for ways to improve the quality of healthcare provided to people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver.
If you’ve ever struggled to get your patient with fatty liver to a specialist clinic, wondered if they even need to go or wanted to improve the referral process for liver disease, then we are looking for your help.
