Qualifying from the University of Dundee in 1999, Dr Martin went on to work in various medical disciplines across Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Australia, prior to specializing in General Practice in 2008. In 2014, Dr Martin migrated to Australia where she continued to work as a General Practitioner with an emphasis on women’s health, an area she's passionate about.

In more recent years, Dr Martin has further broadened her experience in this area, training and working as a MTOP prescriber, both at Marie Stopes and in general practice settings. This wealth of expertise has now brought Dr Martin to HL Pharma, partnering on their WomanCare Global obstetric and gynaecological range.
