Welcome to our staff section, here you can meet some of the staff who are part of the Anna House team.

John Chambers
B.Vet.Med., MRCVS
John started seeing practice in his home town of Ipswich when he was 11 years old as part of a long standing ambition to become a veterinary surgeon that had started when his family moved to a farm in Cornwall during the war.
He qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 1960 and since 1961 has been in small animal practice in London, Reading and Jersey before moving to Folkestone in 1975. He retired from practice but was tempted back and is now working full time - he is thoroughly enjoying being back in harness and is delighted to meet and chat to his old clients. His main interest is all aspects of imaging, X-rays, ultrasound and endoscopy he is also very interested in the care of geriatric cats and feels so much can be done to improve their quality and length of life.
In his spare time you will find him on the downs walking Dudley - a 14 year old much loved setter dog or in his shed (office, studio, workshop) drawing, painting, or working on photographs or web design.

Rebecca Lang
B.Vet.Med., MRCVS
Rebecca is a graduate from the Royal Veterinary College in London.
We were delighted when she was able to join our practice in November last year, her infectious smile, good humour and caring attitude to the animals in her care, make her an ideal member of our team. She has a particular interest in soft tissue surgery.
Away from work she enjoys travelling, scuba diving and kite surfing. She also bakes the most fantastic cakes which makes her a great favourite among the nurses in the practice.
Rukchila Fonseka
B.V.Sc., M.R.C.V.S.
Ruckshila was born in Sri Lanka. Her family moved to England when she was 3 years old. She made her mind to to become a Veterinary Surgeon when she was 10.
She qualified from Bristol Veterinary School and since then she has worked for the P.D.S.A. and for several private veterinary practices in London near her family home. She joined Annahouse in April. She has to take little bit of teasing from the rest of the veterinary team who are all London graduates - but we have to admit they turn out good vets from Bristol.
Ruckshila is an absolute delight to work with, a great contributor to case discussions behind the scenes, she has twinkling sense of humour and a wonderful smile.
Her main interest in veterinary work is all aspects of small animal medicine.
Away from practice she enjoys travelling and diving - she is hoping to work towards a British Sub Aqua Qualification in her spare time.
