Professional profile
I am a female consultant gynaecologist in private practice in Wimbledon, Kingston-upon-Thames, New Malden and South West London. I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and I have been practising as a doctor since 1987. I have over 20 years of experience working in the NHS including eight years as a Consultant at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust. I studied medicine at Cambridge University and St Thomas's Hospital Medical School and I trained at St Thomas's Hospital, Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, The Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital and Ashford Hospital. Between 1993 and 1996 I was a Clinical and Research Fellow in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Toronto. In 2000 I was awarded a Medical Doctorate by the University of London for my thesis on preterm labour. From 1996 to 2001 I was a Senior Registrar in the South West Thames Region working at St Helier NHS Trust and The Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford. During this period I had an honorary contract at King's College Hospital and trained with Professor Kypros Nicolaides at the Harris Birthright Fetal Medicine Centre. In 2001 I was appointed as a Consultant at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust, where I had a post encompassing both Obstetrics and Gynaecology. I decided to leave my NHS post in 2009 and now practice solely in the private sector.

Personal profile
Although I follow the convention of calling myself "Miss Panter" professionally, I am married with three children and live in Wimbledon. I enjoy walking and running and regularly incorporate this into a personal fitness programme which includes Yoga, Pilates and the use of a gym. I competed in the Women's Oxford Versus Cambridge Boat race in 1982-1984 and represented Great Britain in the World Rowing Championships and rowed in the 1984 Olympic Games. I maintain my connection with the rowing world as a trustee of the Downing College Boat Club and as an alumna of Cambridge University Women's Boat Club. I shall be working as a volunteer for the 2012 London Olympics.
