Dr Liz Murray
Liz Murray is a doctor, author, speaker, and health advocate working at the intersection of medicine, lived experience, and systems change.
After experiencing firsthand the realities of delayed diagnosis and fragmented healthcare, Liz became passionate about transforming how we understand, validate, and support people living with chronic illness.
Her work bridges the gap between clinical expertise and real patient experience — helping audiences better understand their bodies, navigate healthcare, and feel less alone.
Liz is the founder and CEO of the charity Mortal And Strong, a recipient of the British Citizen’s Award for services to health, and the author of Not Just Painful Periods, published by Octopus Publishing Group.
She is also the creator of the Diagnosis Spiral and Thrive Arc frameworks — human-centred models exploring the emotional, functional, and societal impact of diagnostic delay, and how healthcare can move people from survival toward understanding, recovery, and hope.
Through her media work, writing, speaking, and advocacy, Liz is helping reshape conversations around women’s health, healthcare inequality, and the future of compassionate care.
