On her return to the UK she took a position as a QoF assessor and PRIMIS facilitator and worked within Care Homes to reduce anticholinergic burden, reducing the use of antipsychotics and deprescribing.
In 2015 she qualified as a prescriber and this led to the development of clinics for pain and atrial fibrillation management within GP practices.
