Dr Elizabeth Webb

Dr Elizabeth Webb is a Fellow in the Clinical Hub for Interventional Research within the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University. She holds a Master of Public Health from the University of New South Wales and completed her PhD through the University of Canberra. Her PhD involved running a clinical trial which investigated the impact of compression therapy on recurrent cellulitis and the associated costs for patients and the healthcare system, with the primary results being published in the New England Journal of Medicine and subsequently translated into clinical guidelines.

Elizabeth is a lymphoedema physiotherapist with 10 years of experience working within the lymphoedema and palliative care services at Calvary Public Hospital in Canberra, where she shared the role of Lymphoedema Service Coordinator and Senior Clinician. In addition to her clinical work, Elizabeth has worked in the Data Strategies and Discovery Group at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2022) and has guest lectured physiotherapy students at the University of Canberra.

Elizabeth’s research interests include clinical trial methodology, cellulitis, chronic oedema and lymphoedema, and she is currently involved in clinical trials relating to myelodysplastic syndromes.
