She obtained a Masters of Surgery at the University of Sydney in 2007.
She has undertaken a number of research activities that have had subsequent publications in the area of pelvic floor disorders.
Dr Turner is experienced in laparoscopic surgery for both benign and malignant diseases, with a subspecialty interest in pelvic floor disorders and complex anorectal fistulae. She is implementing the use of Sacral Nerve Stimulation for treatment of anal incontinence, and TEMS for excision of benign and early rectal tumours.
