Dr Mark Churn

I am a Consultant Clinical Oncologist in Worcester, specialising in the management of breast cancer and colorectal cancer. I was appointed to my current post at the Worcestershire Oncology Centre in 2014, coinciding with the commencement of local radiotherapy services, and I have since made a significant contribution to the development of modern cancer treatments for patients across Worcestershire.

My clinical interests are focused on the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and colorectal cancer, including the delivery of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and supportive oncological therapies. I see private patients at Spire South Bank Hospital, Worcester, providing personalised cancer care tailored to each individual’s diagnosis and treatment goals.

I am a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and subsequently completed training in general medicine in both the UK and New Zealand. I undertook specialist oncology training at the Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology on the Wirral and at The Christie Hospital, Manchester, gaining extensive experience in the management of complex cancers.

Before my appointment in Worcester, I worked as a Consultant Clinical Oncologist in Wolverhampton from 2000, with visiting sessions at Kidderminster Hospital, where I specialised in breast and colorectal cancers. During this time, I also gained valuable experience treating urological and upper gastrointestinal malignancies.

I have made a substantial contribution to oncology research, particularly within my sub‑specialty areas. I have acted as principal local investigator for numerous national clinical trials and have served on national trial management groups, helping to shape future cancer treatments.

I am also an examiner for Clinical Oncology specialty trainees at the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), contributing to the training and assessment of future consultant oncologists.
