Dr Stuart Baugh

Who Dr Stuart Baugh is

Dr Stuart Baugh is Clinical Programme Director for Lung Cancer Screening at the Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance, a directorate of NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and one of 21 cancer alliances in England. He has led the NHS Lung Cancer Screening programme across the region since its launch in Hull in 2020, overseeing its subsequent roll-out to North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, and North Yorkshire. Baugh has publicly championed the case for community-based, mobile lung screening, arguing that early detection — when treatment is simpler and more successful — is central to improving cancer survival rates. He has been quoted in regional and national press on the expansion of screening to new areas, including Scarborough, and on the clinical rationale for targeting people aged 55–74 who smoke or have smoked.
