Margaret was a founder member of the Society and was appointed Honorary Secretary in 1993, working closely with Pat Patterson, the then Director of the British Menopause Society. Margaret retired as Deputy Director in 2006, returning to run BMS ‘Roadshows’ until February 2008. She was then made an Honorary Life Member of the Society.

She worked as a GP in the Weaver Vale Practice in Runcorn from 1979 until 1997 and was very proud that she, a working-class girl, had become a Doctor.
