Carrie delivers educational talks to local Dentists and Doctors, and lectures to national and international groups.
During the Covid pandemic, Carrie gave regular national teaching webinars on managing patients with skin cancer. This was to help other surgeons progress their knowledge, at a time when surgical training and education were difficult to deliver in day-to-day NHS practice.

In September 2023, the Working Party on Sexual Misconduct in Surgery, which Carrie co-leads, published major research on the extent of this issue, which resulted in widespread media coverage. The Health and Social Care Committee announced on 13th September that there would be a parliamentary inquiry.
In 2023, The Royal College of Surgeons awarded her the Colyer Gold Medal, which is given from time to time, in recognition of " contributions to the profession or wider society through actions or discoveries." Also in 2023, the BAOMS awarded her the Down Surgical Prize, "a high honour, to be awarded to a person or persons who are adjudged to have made a major contribution to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the widest sense" which will be presented in 2024.
