She was co-chair of the pressure group Keep Our NHS Public. In 1991 she made an extended appearance on the television discussion programme After Dark alongside Helen Brook, John Finnis, Mary Kenny and others. Her later book, Birth and Power, revisits the issues which her suspension raised. Savage herself wrote about her experiences. Savage was supported during this time by other birth activists such as Beverley Lawrence Beech. 'Mrs Savage's strongly held and voiced opinions on women's rights to a say in their method of delivery and in their rights to abortion made her a public and at times controversial figure rumours of other sources of conflict with her colleagues have ranged from style of dress to private practice.' A British Medical Journal editorial concluded that a clash of personalities had led to the charges against Dr Savage. In 1985, she was accused of incompetence by the professor in her department (Professor Jurgis Gediminas Grudzinskas ) and suspended from her post at the London Hospital Medical College, but she was cleared of all charges and reinstated in 1986 following a high-profile enquiry. She was shortlisted for the BMJ Group Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. She was an elected member of the General Medical Council for more than 16 years. In New Zealand she set up an abortion service before the law was liberalised. She has worked in the United States of America, Nigeria, Kenya, and New Zealand. She qualified in 1960, and was the first woman consultant to be appointed in obstetrics and gynaecology at The London Hospital. Professor Savage read medicine at Girton College, Cambridge.
