About Dr James Good

GMC number: 6104512

Year qualified: 2004

Place of primary qualification: University of London

Dr James Good is a consultant cancer specialist based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. He trained as a scientist at Cambridge University before completing clinical training at University College, London. His subsequent experience in cancer medicine and radiotherapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital equipped him to provide treatment of the very highest standard. He brings an innovative and personalised approach to his practice in Birmingham and beyond.?

Dr Good has a busy head and neck practice treating cancer originating in the jaw, tongue, tonsil, larynx, neck, salivary gland, and sinuses. These cancers are often best treated using a combination of therapies, so he works closely with surgeons, dieticians, speech and language therapists, and other colleagues to support people through their treatment. Radiotherapy is often used to cure head and neck cancer, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. The technically advanced facilities at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and at Spire Little Aston Hospital are second-to-none. Chemotherapy is available at several different locations to maximize convenience. Being treated by an experienced and innovative team is central to getting the best possible outcome.?

Dr Good has a strong interest in the treatment of head and neck cancer that has recurred or spread to other parts of the body. He was the first oncologist in the Midlands to use the most promising form of immunotherapy to treat advanced squamous cell cancer and plays a key role in local research efforts in this area.

Dr Good's practice locations include the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Edgbaston, Spire Hospital Genesis Care Little Aston & Parkway (Solihull), and BMI Priory Hospital Edgbaston. He is committed to providing state-of-the-art care to his patients, ensuring they receive the best possible treatment tailored to their individual needs.
