She emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1983 and worked as an anaesthetist (anaesthesiologist) until 1989 when she left practice to work in a managerial position at the Droitwich Knee Clinic, which she co-founded with her knee surgeon ex-husband, <a href="/KNEEnotes/retired-knee-surgeon/dr-mr-angus-strover>Angus Strover.

There she was involved with the establishment of The Knee Foundation (an academic trust) and helped to design the content of their academic courses, as well as designing and bringing to production a 3-dimensional arthroscopic training model of the knee.

A sabbatical in at Warwick University 1973-1974 earned her an MBA (1994), and at this stage she also established the KNEEguru company and website and , with help from the shareholders, she started to build the site content which continues to grow.

Dr Strover resigned from the Clinic in 2002, and has concentrated her energies on creating within the KNEEguru website a successful venue for the collaboration of Patients, Clinical Practitioners and Industry in the knee field.
