Anthony Kaiser
Anthony joined Belmont in 1980 - before the building was opened. He was a general backbencher and schlepper and on the security rota once it started in the late 1980s. Anthony joined the choir in 1999 and the Board in 2014, becoming a Warden in 2015. Unfortunately he stood down for health reasons in 2019 but is still on the Council.
Anthony is a retired consultant neonatologist having worked nearly 30 years at St Thomas' Hospital; that means looking after ill newborn babies (and their families), training junior Doctors, students, midwives and nurses. He continues to be active in promoting ethical practice in clinical medicine and medical research, and improving the care of newborn babies both at St Thomas' Hospital and nationally. He hopes to begin exercising his training as a Hospital "visitor" after pandemic restrictions are lifted.
Anthony is married to Janice who works as a Librarian at Yavneh college; his daughter Sarah is married to a solicitor and works in Equality and Diversity; his son David is a manager in a company buying and selling office space and is married to a financial assistant, and they have three children; daughter Deborah works in Child and Adolescent Mental Health for Camden, is married to a teacher, and they have two daughters; his son Joshua is a solicitor and looks forward to his forthcoming marriage.
Anthony’s first love is reading, mainly science fiction. He likes listening to music especially classical. He enjoys observing the world and thinking about how it works, including challenging ideas that deserve to be. He walks and usually swims regularly but is not good at or interested in sport generally. He is a chocaholic.
