TitleAnne Moore FRCS
DescriptionPortrait of Anne Moore, by Jane Brettle, 2008.
Anne Moore is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Southwest Neurosurgery Centre, Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, UK. She qualified from the Royal London Hospital, London, and trained in neurosurgery at Atkinson Morley’s Hospital, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. She spent 11 years as a Consultant at Atkinson Morley’s Hospital before moving to the West Country. Her special interest is in anterior skull base surgery. She was elected to Council in 1996 and served as Vice-President of the College from 2006 to 2008.
This is one of six portraits of women surgeons acquired by the College from the artist Jane Brettle in 2008 (see related records). Derived in part from an earlier project by Brettle entitled 'airside', the portraits were influenced in their formal and aesthetic quality by the portraits of the late 18th early 19th century painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. They consist of half or three-quarter length poses, with particular consideration given to situation, detail, colour and scale. The subjects are portrayed in settings that relate to their professional work - in this case, as surgeons and as elected members of the Council of the College. Anne Moore was the Council lead for the Hunterian Museum redevelopment from 2003 to 2005. Her portrait shows her in the museum, holding a stereotactic frame for neurosurgery used at Atkinson Morley’s Hospital.
