As an NHS Research Sister she was involved in the early clinical trials of sildenafil citrate (Viagra). Lorraine recognised how giving patients the opportunity to discuss their sexual difficulties could significantly improve their wellbeing.

She has received several national awards (both individual and team-based) for her contributions to the effective management of sexual function.

She regularly contributes to the Macmillan Online Community ‘Ask an Expert’ forum.
