Experience

Dr Jackson has worked for the Trust since October 2010.

He gained his CCST in clinical oncology in 2006 and took a post as a clinical lecturer and honorary consultant oncologist at The University of Manchester and Christie Hospital, specialising in upper gastrointestinal cancers, with additional academic interests in image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and imaging.

In 2010, Dr Jackson he moved to UHS, with two days a week at North Hampshire Hospital.

He is continuing to pursue his research interest in upper gastrointestinal cancers.
