Dr Alison Jones

Dr Alison Jones is an experienced Consultant Medical Oncologist. She graduated from Bristol University in 1980 and undertook training at the prestigious Royal Marsden Hospital, where she also obtained a higher degree in Biological Therapy of Cancer for her MD thesis in 1993.

Dr Jones has worked as a consultant in medical oncology at the Royal Free Hospital since 1993, treating a wide range of tumours initially before later specialising in breast cancer. She also holds an honorary senior lecturer position at University College London. In addition to her work with the NHS, she has been working privately for many years and now works only within the private sector with HCA Healthcare UK - most frequently located at their Harley Street location.

She has had a very successful career in clinical medicine, during which she has been highly active in carrying out clinical trials, educating others and developing new services and guidelines. For five years she chaired her professional society (The Association of Cancer Physicians), and advised the London Cancer New Drugs Group on introducing new drugs. Additionally, at one point she served as Vice Chair of CTAAC (Clinical Trials Awards and Advisory Committee) for CRUK. Currently, she remains a member of esteemed organisations such as the British Breast Group, ESMO and ASCO.

In her current work, Dr Jones treats women who have breast cancer and works as part of a team that takes an interdisciplinary approach. Her interests within the realm of breast cancer extend from aspects related to diagnosis all the way through treatment, with a focus on young women with this condition along with those whose pregnancy played a role in developing it or who face fertility-related issues because of it. Throughout her career thus far, she has taken an interest in matters pertaining to medical law and ensuring that appropriate training and conferences are attended for advising others on patent law.
