Dr Emma Davies

Dr Emma Davies is an accomplished healthcare professional with an extensive 10-year tenure as a doctor within the NHS and worked within the field of surgical oncology over the last 5 years.

Dr Davies trained at King's College London, where she earned her undergraduate degree in medicine (MBBS) and she pursued an intercalated BSc in human nutrition (iBSc), which deepened her understanding of the impact of nutrition on overall health.

In 2018 she qualified as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and has solidified her knowledge in surgical oncology over the last 5 years where she was a Research Fellow at the Royal Marsden Hospital and Institute of Cancer Research. During this time, she worked both as a surgical registrar in the hospital and a clinical research fellow in the laboratory. She has made significant research contributions, publishing her findings in renowned peer-reviewed journals, served as the first author for a textbook chapter and has presented her research internationally. She was also awarded a competitive Research Fellowship by the Royal College of Surgeons which enabled her to undertake an innovative research project, co-running a phase I/II clinical trial in surgical oncology involving translational research.

On the background of her clinical and research experience, Dr Davies is extremely passionate about delivering a whole person approach to patient care and emphasizes the importance of utilizing evidence-based integrative oncology within cancer care. When a close family member was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, she realised there was a gap in the system for integrative support and embarked on a personal and professional journey into integrative oncology where she found her true passion. As an integrative oncology doctor, she aims to work alongside the extended medical team to offer supportive care, including physical, emotional, and psychosocial care, promoting optimal quality of life throughout their cancer journey.
