Dr Sam Hare
Dr Sam Hare is a leading Consultant Chest Radiologist within the UK. Based at the Royal Free London NHS Trust, he has introduced an innovative lung biopsy technique leading to both improved patient experience and earlier lung cancer diagnosis. He also works privately in London at The Wellington Hospital and Spire Bushey Hospital.
Sam works closely with experienced respiratory physicians, providing specialist radiological interpretation of chest images to achieve accurate diagnosis of both common and complex respiratory conditions.
Dr Hare offers an expert opinion on CT chest scans, including lung cancer screening for early stage lung cancer, and is able to provide imaging diagnosis for a wide
array of lung conditions. He also performs a safe, highly accurate, streamlined lung biopsy technique which facilitates the diagnosis of early stage lung cancer in a wider range of patients.
Dr Hare won the prestigious BMJ (British Medical Journal) 2016 award for cancer care. Earlier this year, he and his colleagues were also awarded the first ever NHS Innovation Challenge Prize for Cancer.
