Dr Susannah Bloch

I spend most of my NHS practice looking after lung cancer patients. It's my aim is to make sure patients have rapid access to diagnostics and all the support they need through their pathway, including timely reassurance and the discharge of patients who don’t have lung cancer. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has one of the best lung cancer survival rates in the country, I led this service for 7 years and I am proud to use my NHS expertise to similarly look after my private patients. I trained at St Mary Hospital and completed my PhD at the Royal Brompton Hospital. I have many years’ experience of looking after very unwell respiratory patients in high dependency care, and in my current role, I am responsible for lung cancer patients at Imperial, as well as general medical patients on the wards and am part of the general medical on call rota. I also happy to see and looks after all general respiratory issues. 

My special clinical interests include Persistent cough, Lung Cancer and Lung nodules, Lung cancer screening and post covid syndromes. ? In my role at RM Partners Cancer Alliance, I am responsible for the oversight and strategic direction of cancer care across West London. I look after the secondary care (i.e hospital care) parts of the cancer pathways and it is my passion to work towards ensuring all patients have access to efficient and expert cancer services, from the diagnostic process all they way through to treatment and beyond. At RM Partners we have an ambitious strategy aimed at saving more lives from cancer and improving variation and inequity across West London. In this role I am also responsible for clinical oversight of the Lung Cancer screening programme.
