Suzanne Scott

I am a Health Psychologist and was appointed as Professor of Health Psychology & Early Cancer Diagnosis in the Centre for Cancer Screening, Prevention and Early Diagnosis at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health in April 2022.

I am also Visiting Professor of Health Psychology at King’s College London where I previously worked (2006-2022), researching approaches to encourage early diagnosis of cancer and co-ordinating communication skills training for undergraduate dental students. My training was at University College London (MSc Health Psychology) and King’s College London (PhD in Psychology Applied to Medicine & Dentistry).

I am the behavioural science lead on several international collaborations including an NIHR Global Health Group on timely diagnosis of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa, the CanTest collaborative focusing on cancer diagnostic testing in primary care and the CanDetect programme on detection of upper gastrointestinal cancer through the development of a multi-cancer early detection platform.
