Join us for a stroll through Dr Sam’s “Sun Safe Skin” advice, as she talks about the sun’s effects on the skin, how to check your moles, the skin lesions to look out for and to get checked out, and how to keep your skin safe in the sun. 

Dr Sam Anthony is an NHS doctor in Hertfordshire, where she has worked as a surgeon in Dermatology for the past 20 years, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. Having initially completed her surgical training in London, which included a six month job in plastic surgery, followed by General Practice training, she finally found her niche in Dermatology in 2005. She has lectured and taught skin surgical skills at the University of Hertfordshire, and continues to train junior doctors in skin surgery during her day job, where she is also Skin Cancer Lead. She runs the STAR skin service in Hertfordshire where she removes cosmetic skin lesions, and continues to have a passion for her work with her skin cancer patients on the NHS. 

As a recent resident of Hampshire, and wife of the owner of The Arches Physiotherapy clinic in Lymington, which offers a range of services, clinics, classes, and treatments, she is hoping to bring some of her knowledge and experience to the local community too, eventually hoping to bring her Sun Safe Skin skin check clinics, and STAR skin surgery service, down south in the near future! 

Breaking news! The Arches has collaborated with The Mole Mapping Clinic who are bringing their expertise from Hertfordshire and Essex to Lymington.

In her new book "The Inflammation Game," she dives deep into the revolutionary concept of "inflammaging" – where your body's inflammatory response has essentially gone rogue.

She explains how this chronic, low-grade inflammation silently accelerates the ageing process at the cellular level, causing everything from visible skin changes to internal deterioration.
