Enthusiastic about her work, even after all these years, and endeavors to inspire others with her enthusiasm. Maggie has a fantastic reputation as a clinician and an opinion former in the profession as a whole.

A great believer in continuing education, in 2003 she was awarded a  Master of Philosophy in Periodontics , from Leeds University where she was headhunted as a part- time research hygienist on a number of trials. She has had a number of publications, co-authored periodontal chapters in textbooks and has used her personal research findings to help design a new interdental brush for the treatment and control of interdental periodontal pocketing.
