One: Treatment of bowel, pancreatic and liver cancer with chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy and radiotherapy
Two: Treating secondary (metastatic) tumours anywhere in the body with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), a non-invasive and highly effective approach
When you’re facing cancer, you deserve two things: the very best modern medicine has to offer, and a doctor who listens, understands, and works hard on your behalf. That’s exactly what I provide.
Consultant Clinical Oncologist at University Hospitals Birmingham, one of the largest NHS oncology departments in the UK
Clinical Director at GenesisCare where I lead the UK’s busiest and most innovative SABR and MRI-guided radiotherapy service
Private treatment via a network of hospitals in the Midlands, Oxford and London
20+ years helping people navigate illness with focus and compassion
Research-driven expertise in colorectal (bowel) cancer, liver and pancreatic cancers, and stereotactic radiotherapy for secondary (metastatic) tumour
“When I was going through probably the toughest time in my life, having James’ support was invaluable. You are about to make an important decision on which oncologist to see, and I have no hesitation in recommending James.”
— Patient Testimony
Cancer care should never be one-size-fits-all. Every patient I see receives a unique treatment plan, built in collaboration with an exceptional multidisciplinary team — one of the most experienced in Europe. We combine drug therapy, modern radiotherapy, and surgery in the right sequence to give you the greatest chance of living as long and as well as possible. If you’ve been diagnosed in the NHS and want to explore private treatment options, or if you simply want a second opinion, I’m here to help you.
My work as an oncologist means I have extensive expertise in:
Chemotherapy and immunotherapy for bowel cancer (colon and rectal), pancreatic cancer, liver cancer (HCC), bileduct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), and smallbowel cancers.
Advanced radiotherapy techniques including adaptive MRI-guided radiotherapy for rectal, liver and pancreatic cancer and selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) for liver tumours
Stereotactic radiotherapy for stage 4 cancer in the adrenal, bone, liver, lung, node and spine – this includes people with breast, lung, prostate, ovarian, skin/melanoma and other primary tumours.
“James is amazing. So professional, supportive and dedicated. I feel secure in the knowledge that he is my oncologist and in safe hands knowing he is overseeing my care. I would recommend James 100% and so grateful to him for everything.”
— Patient Testimony
Access
A private consultation within days, in person or via secure online video call, with any further scans or other tests arranged promptly.
Clarity
Whether you’re seeking treatment or a second opinion, I explain your diagnosis and options clearly and provide a written plan you can share with family.
Focus
A fresh pair of eyes can reveal new options or a better approach that were not obvious at first glance.
Integrity
Treatment recommendations reflect the latest research and real world experience from specialist teams who treat cases like yours every day.
Oversight
I remain closely involved from first consultation to followup, either to coordinate ongoing care or to work with your usual team.
“James is an incredibly skilled oncologist. He clearly has his patients best interests at the forefront. He takes time to explain matters in a full, comprehensive, realistic but kind manner. He has made a real difference to not only my treatment but how I feel about my diagnosis. I feel very fortunate to have found James. I cannot recommend him highly enough. With James you are in experienced and proactive hands.”

Many things have shaped how I work with people who have cancer. My scientific training and clinical training, and my work as a consultant, have given me the confidence to deal with anything cancer might throw at you.
My own experience of undergoing cancer treatment also made me realise that the best outcomes flow from a strong working relationship, based on the following:
Respecting your goals and lifestyle, involving your family or carers if you want me to, and balancing treatment intensity with quality of life.
Offering practical lifestyle guidance including nutrition tips you can follow, activity plans you can sustain, sleep and stress strategies, and open-minded but pragmatic advice on supplements and alternative medicine.
Making sure my team are available to you when you need us, with straightforward contact routes and timely reviews.
If you come to me for private treatment such as MRI-guided radiotherapy, I will coordinate closely with your existing NHS or private oncologist so that nothing is left to chance.
“James’ demeanour relaxed me within the first few minutes of speaking with him. He explained the process clearly and precisely, covering what to expect from the treatment, potential side effects and the current success rate. A very thorough consult and follow up – thank you for making me feel at ease throughout the process.”
