Mrs Anthony qualified from Cambridge University in 1981 and then trained in London, Southampton, Northampton and Oxford prior to being appointed as a consultant at Northampton General Hospital in late 1992.
She has experience as College Tutor then Clinical Director for the department, and was appointed in 2003 as one of the Associate Medical Directors for the Trust, leading on Appraisal and Continuing Professional Development for senior doctors.
