About Dr Jay Naik

Dr Jay Naik is a Consultant Medical Oncologist specialising exclusively in the medical treatment of breast cancer. He has over 20 years’ experience in cancer medicine, including more than 15 years as a consultant, and treats patients with early and advanced breast cancer, including complex and high-risk disease.

He is based at Harrogate District Hospital, where he is Clinical Lead for Research and local lead for clinical trials, ensuring patients have access to the latest evidence-based treatments and, where appropriate, novel therapies. He holds a PhD and is actively involved in research and education in breast cancer.

Dr Naik is known for his clear, compassionate, and honest approach to care. He places strong emphasis on shared decision-making, taking time to understand each patient’s priorities and to explain treatment options, benefits, and risks in a straightforward and transparent way. Patients frequently seek his opinion for treatment planning, second opinions, and guidance through complex decisions.

From 2021 to 2024, Dr Naik served as Clinical Director of the West Yorkshire & Harrogate Cancer Alliance Breast Optimal Pathways Group, helping to optimise breast cancer care delivery across a large regional cancer network.

He has a particular interest in, modern tumour testing, advanced and risk-specific communication, and co-facilitates the TARGET and TRUSTING courses developed by Professors Val Jenkins and Lesley Fallowfield (SHORE-C group), supporting clinicians in effective and empathetic communication with patients.

His commitment to patient-centred care has been recognised with several awards, including the Kate Granger Compassionate Care Award and the Making a Difference Award at Harrogate District Hospital.

The consultation was online. The explanations were all very clear and additional information was provided in response to questions. The consultant was very reassuring and addressed all concerns.

Since the onset of my breast cancer diagnoses I have felt complete reassurance that I have been truly cared for by Dr J Naik and his team. Dr Naik took time to explain every step of my treatment plan, making a very overwhelming, traumatic and stressful situation feel more manageable. I felt my appointments were never rushed and that no question I asked seemed silly. He always answered my questions with honestly, patience and clarity. I always felt the whole co-ordination with the rest of the oncology team felt connected and smooth throughout my entire chemo treatments. Outstanding, professional and I am incredibly grateful for Dr Naik's expertise, knowledge and kindness. Highly recommend to anyone who is navigating a cancer diagnoses. Tina

Dr Naik and Jill Maffey are more than amazing health professionals and experts in their roles, they are amazing individuals, supportive and kind people and they treat patients and family members like they are the most important people in the room, always going above and beyond in everything they do. Spire is a safe, welcoming, supportive, caring, clean, comforting, homely and pioneering environment to be treated in where nothing is ever too much trouble.
