About the author

Dr Clare Shaw PhD RD was appointed as the first Consultant Dietitian in Oncology in 2004 at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust where she still works. She was the first Allied Health Professional at the Royal Marsden to achieve consultant status.
During her childhood she was successful in both local and national cookery competitions, which lead to her interest in the science of food and a degree in nutrition.
Her interest in supporting people with cancer to eat well during and after treatment has led to a career spanning more than 20 years. She has a key role in educating staff at the hospital about the importance of nutrition to cancer patients.
Clare has been interviewed on the BBC World Service about the role of diet and nutrition during cancer treatment and recovery. Her work on the Royal Marsden Cancer Cookbook enables patients undergoing cancer treatment to eat well, get the nutrition they need, and enjoy eating with their family and friends.
The Royal Marsden Hospital was the first hospital in the world dedicated to the study and treatment of cancer and remains a world leading centre for treatment, research and training.
