Dr. Sam Guglani  is a consultant in clinical oncology at Cheltenham General Hospital and Hereford County Hospital; he specialises in the treatment of patients with breast, lung and brain cancers. He also has an academic interest in clinical ethics and sits on the hospital Clinical Ethics Committee.

Dr Guglani curates ‘Medicine Unboxed’ an NHS initiative supported by The Wellcome Trust and Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Unboxed engages the public and front-line NHS staff with a view of medicine that is infused and elaborated by the humanities. Contributors include artists, writers, the clergy, poets, philosophers, lawyers, linguists, musicians, theatre, ethicists, academics and doctors. The results are thought-provoking, inspiring, sometimes funny and often moving.
