In recognition of the current diagnostic delay and crisis within the healthcare system, Dr Liz outlined a new Transformational Health model outlining the Diagnosis Spiral and Thrive Arc which could be used to aid recovery in Women's Health.

Dr Liz is passionate about working towards equity in healthcare. After experiencing rare health conditions and the subsequent lack of support, Liz became aware of the barriers and lack of equity in support for patients. This led to her founding the charity Mortal And Strong and working to provide equal support for anyone with any health condition.

Dr Liz's personal attitude toward not letting her health conditions stop her from living (not just surviving) has led her to sharing this message with brands, projects and engagements. Including Cool Crutches, Scamp & Dude and Daler-Rowney.
