She graduated from medical school in 1992 and completed her postgraduate training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in Birmingham. Her training in general obstetrics & gynaecology was followed by training in advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery at major laparoscopic training centres in the UK. She has also undertaken a travelling fellowship to the USA to learn laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

She also examines for the British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and teaches on courses for the MRCOG part II examination.
