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.
