About Dr Claire Baldry

Dr Baldry is an highly experienced Consultant Clinical Oncologist. She specialises in all aspects of non-surgical treatments for breast cancer, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted treatments, and immunotherapy. She is dedicated to providing holistic care to her patients, taking into account their individual needs, concerns, and priorities. Patients praise her medical expertise and compassionate care. 

She holds a substantive NHS post at Weston Park Cancer Centre, Sheffield, and runs weekly clinics at Thornbury Hospital in Sheffield for private patients, with access to a dedicted private radiotherapy service through the GenesisCare network. 

Dr Baldry received her first-class undergraduate degree from Oxford University, where she specialised in cancer biology, developmental biology, and genetics. She won the cancer biology prize as the top-performing student in her year. She completed her clinical training in Edinburgh and was awarded honours in her medical degree.

After junior doctor training, Dr Baldry obtained an academic training post in clinical oncology in London, working in hospitals such as Guy's and St Thomas', and Barts. During her training, she sat the examinations for the Royal College of Radiologists. She was awarded the gold medals for both parts of the examination, becoming only the third person to achieve this. 

Dr Baldry has extensive experience in systemic (medical) treatment for breast cancer. She has a busy NHS practice as well as working in private practice and is familiar with all treatment options for both early and metastatic breast cancer. She works closely with her surgical, radiology and pathology colleagues to optimise outcomes for all patients. She has produced new treatment pathways and protocols regionally for patients receiving chemotherapy. She leads weekly radiotherapy peer review meetings, continues to modernise radiotherapy practice via introduction of up to date treatment techniques, and is principal investigator on radiotherapy trials at her trust. She produces regional guidelines for breast radiotherapy. She has trained advanced and consultant radiographers in the management of breast cancer, in order to improve the availability and quality of post operative radiotherapy treatments in the region. She has also contributed to textbooks on the management of breast cancer and taught on a European course for surgeons. She spent six years as an examiner for the Royal College of Radiologists' oncology post graduate examinations. She is course director of the Sheffield FRCR course for oncology registrars.

In her spare time she enjoys walking in the Peak District with her family, and is learning the violin.

Dr Baldry is one of the best doctors I have encountered. I saw her with my dad and he said the same. She is so impressive and her ability to explain such complicated medical issues in layman’s terms is second to none. She is honest and kind.

Dr Baldry was so lovely to speak to and explained everything in a way I understood. She was able to work around me with my treatment meaning I didnt need to change my much needed holiday with my family. She really put my mind at ease with this next stage in my treatment and was open and honest with what I needed which I couldnt thank her enough.

Thank you for the care you’ve given me throughout my treatment. Your knowledge and expertise have been clear every step of the way, but what I’ve appreciated just as much is how you’ve shared it—with clarity, patience, and genuine compassion. You took the time to explain things so I felt informed and involved, which made a difficult experience much more manageable. I’m also grateful for the trust you showed me and for creating a space where I felt safe to ask questions and be honest about how I was feeling. Your calm, thoughtful approach has made a lasting difference to me, both medically and emotionally. I’m truly grateful to have been in your care.

Dr Baldry was very warm, welcoming and made me feel at ease. My full diagnosis was explained in detail, all of my questions answered thoroughly and plenty of time offered to talk about everything I needed to. I received a really helpful letter after that outlined it all again, which helped me have something to refer to. Overall excellent service which I’d recommend to anyone.

I arranged to see Dr Baldry in order to have an informed discussion about radiotherapy for breast cancer. The consultation far exceeded my expectations. Dr Baldry was approachable, professional and extremely thorough. I was reassured by her expert knowledge and unambiguous communication ensuring that all my questions were answered with clarity and a level of detail that I could relate to as a medical professional. I am so grateful for her input and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends or family.
