Biography
Dr. Anne Ward has been an accredited NHS Consultant Dermatologist since 1996 and is on the UK Specialist Register for Dermatology and the UK General Medical Council.She graduated from Queen’s University of Belfast in 1987 with an Honours degree, coming first in her year. Undergraduate prizes include The Taylor Prize in Dermatology, The Sinclair Medal in Surgery and the Whitla Prize in Therapeutics and Pharmacology. She completed her MD Thesis in 1993 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Colleges of Physicians (London) in 2002. She was short-listed for the prestigious Goulstonian Lectureship in 2003 (RCP, London). Her dermatology training was undertaken in teaching hospitals in Belfast, Birmingham and Bristol.
After her appointment as Consultant Dermatologist at Mid Staffordshire General Hospitals NHS Trust, she became the Lead Clinician for Skin Cancer Services for Mid Staffordshire (1996 – 2005). During this time, she raised the standard of care for skin cancer patients such that her skin cancer team was ranked first for patient care and services in all of the West Midlands in two consecutive NHS Skin Cancer Peer Reviews (2002 & 2005/06).
In 2001, Dr. Ward was one of the first doctors in the West Midlands to use Photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat skin cancer. Having noticed the improvement in the appearance and the texture of people’s skin receiving PDT for skin cancer, she subsequently set up a PDT skin rejuvenation service, and became interested in learning more about treatments for ageing and wrinkled skin.In 2006, Dr. Ward was appointed Lead Clinician in Dermatology at Mid Staffordshire General Hospitals NHS Trust. She developed the integrated Dermatology Centre at Cannock Chase Hospital with dedicated nursing staff, plastic surgery support and GP training prior to stepping down from this management role in September 2009 to concentrate more on her NHS clinical practice and her own private clinic – Stafford Skincare.
Stafford Skincare provides the full range of traditional dermatology care including the management of skin cancers and vulval complaints. In addition, Dr. Ward is fully trained in non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as Botox® wrinkle relaxing injections, Dermal Fillers and skin rejuvenation with PDT or Dermaroller. The clinic is held at the local private hospital, Rowley Hall Hospital, which is registered under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. The clinic is also registered with “Treatments You Can Trust” - the Independent Healthcare Advisory Services (IHAS) Register of Injectable Cosmetic Providers Quality Assurance Mark.
