Farah is experienced in the provision of dental and maxillofacial care at St George’s Hospital, a major London Hospital for trauma, cancer and reconstruction surgery. During her time there she was treating patients who were medically compromised, as well as cancer patients who required oral surgery, full mouth rehabilitation, biopsies, and pre and post treatment monitoring.

Her dissertation focusing on “MRI analysis of taste centres in the brain as a novel way to diagnose taste discrepancies resulting from injuries to the lingual nerve” was selected from a pool of finalists across the UK and awarded a research prize by the Royal College of Surgeons in 2022. Her publication in the British Dental Journal serves as a guide for general dental practitioners for understanding oropharyngeal anatomy, pathology and clinical examination in order to spot early red flags and initiate prompt referrals.
