Antony Crockett

Dr. Antony William Basil Crockett (born 1956) is a British general practitioner, hospital registrar, medical writer and authority on respiratory disease, particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is the medical director of Allergy Central, a private allergy clinic.

He is the son of John Crockett, (John Angus Basil) the artist, playwright and television and film director, grandson of Colonel Basil Crockett (Basil Edwin) DSO and William Joseph Stern OBE (civ.), nephew of Colonel Anthony John Stewart Crockett RM, OBE (Mil.), ADC, and descendant of the Blessed Ralph Crockett, English Martyr.

He attended Downside School and the University of Southampton, graduating in 1980. He practises medicine from his rural practice in Shrivenham, formerly in Wiltshire, now in Oxfordshire. He is married and has two children.

Dr Crockett is the author of a number of works on respiratory medicine, with a focus on improving the standard of primary care in this area. He has lectured on this subject both nationally and internationally and locally founded a primary care group to promote the improvement of the treatment of these conditions by local GPs rather than by resorting to national specialists.
