THE HEAD & NECK CANCER FOUNDATION TEAM
The Head & Neck Cancer Foundation is an independent charity founded by doctors. Our team is composed of highly skilled professionals who have come together to ensure that our pioneering research can take place. Meet some of the founders below.
Sir Kenneth Branagh / Patron
I am delighted to join HNCF and to lend my support to this excellent organisation. In its championing and support of ground-breaking research into new approaches and surgical techniques, HNCF is playing an impressive role in tackling a condition where awareness and understanding remains limited. I look forward to seeing and being part of its development in the future.
Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst / Chairman
Frederick is a Chartered Financial Planner and HNCF’s founding Chairman. Frederick’s involvement stems from his late father having benefitted from the skills of Professor Mark McGurk, who provided an unprecedented additional 19 years of life after substantial surgery.
Professor Mark McGurk / Director
Mark is an Oral and Maxillofacial head and neck surgeon and one of HNCF’s founders. His clinical practice is centered on head and neck cancer surgery and minimally invasive management of salivary gland disease.
