Since then she has worked in a variety of environments firstly in Yeovil hospital and then for the charity Action on Addiction at Clouds House treatment centre for addictions, where she worked for 5 years progressing to lead nurse. It was hear that she found her interest in mental health and understanding more about addiction. 

She then worked as a Forensic Nurse practitioner with Avon & Somerset police which she thoroughly enjoyed as the variety in her work varied from minute to minute.

Since 2017 Pippa has worked as a Nurse Practitioner locally in Primary care and has now found herself here back here at Gillingham Medical Practice where she enjoys the challenges of all that a GP practice can bring.
