Dr Mollie Price

Research Fellow

Dr Mollie Price is a Research Fellow in Health Psychology. She conducts both qualitative and quantitative research that focuses on the psychosocial impact of chronic conditions, particularly cancer alongside multimorbidities (e.g. dementia, diabetes); health inequalities; and patient-reported outcome measures.

Mollie completed her BSc (Hons) Psychology degree at LBU in July 2015, and was awarded her PhD in Psychology from LBU in 2021. Her PhD focused on understanding and addressing the psychosocial support needs of informal carers of people with comorbid dementia and cancer.

Alongside her studies, Mollie taught on the BSc and MSc Psychology courses at LBU as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Part-Time Lecturer, and became an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).

Mollie then worked as the Research Assistant on the NIHR-funded INDICATE study, which focuses on improving diabetes management during cancer treatment. She also worked at the University of Chester as the Senior Research Assistant on the Finding My Way UK project, which is an adaptation and replication trial of online cognitive behavioural therapy for cancer survivors.

Following this, Mollie worked as a full-time Lecturer in Psychology at Leeds Beckett, before joining the APPRAISE study team as a Research Fellow in 2023. APPRAISE is a 3-year study funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The study aims to address a recommendation that was made in the Cumberlege Report 'First Do No Harm' and to develop a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that will better allow women to report adverse outcomes and quality-of-life impacts following surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence and mesh complications.

Mollie was awarded the INTERDEM Academy Fellowship for Spring 2018, to visit Aldring og helse (Ageing and Health) research centre in Asker, Norway for three months.
