Laura Anthony

I am a senior mammographer with extensive experience across private and NHS healthcare settings with a strong background in breast imaging and leadership. I have a proven ability to work in both clinical and supervisory roles, including acting superintendent responsibilities while covering sabbaticals. I have excellent communication and team building skills and an ability to problem solve.

My clinical experience has given me a strong understanding of the challenges patients and healthcare professionals face everyday. While I have enjoyed my time working clinically I am now looking to transition into health technology, where I can contribute to improving how healthcare is accessed, delivered and utilised.
