Some may say that, but i prefer to focus on his medical attributes when he is commenting on medical matters.
Double first at Cambridge, PhD in Immunology at Stanford, founding Professor of Oncology at Imperial College, Deputy Clinical Director at Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Chief of the WHO's Cancer programme, etc, etc.
But yes, he does also write a column for the Express (apparently).

Imperial College seeks legal advice to prevent arch-critic of NHS cancer care from using title associated with the university

“
Sikora was a Foundation Fellow of
Prince Charles' now-defunct alternative medicine lobby group
The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health.
[40] He is also a "professional member" of the
College of Medicine, a patient-oriented healthcare lobby group also linked to the Prince of Wales that appeared shortly after the collapse of the FIH.
[41] Correspondents to the
British Medical Journal have criticised the College for its promotion of alternative medicine,
[42][43][44][45][46] claims which it has contested.
[47] Sikora is on the advisory panel of complementary cancer care charity Penny Brohn Cancer Care
[48] (formerly the Bristol Cancer Help Centre) of which Prince Charles is a patron, and is a patron of the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home.
[49]
The pharmacologist
David Colquhoun noted that the School of Medicine at Buckingham University, of which Sikora is Dean, had briefly offered a diploma in "integrated medicine" (a
euphemism for alternative medicine) run by the "Faculty of Integrated Medicine", adding that Sikora's own views on the subject were a "mystery wrapped in an enigma".”

In a 2017
Newsnight opinion piece, he described the NHS as "the last bastion of
communism - it is a monolithic, unmanageable and inefficient system [...] the staff are great but the system is not".
[28] He proposed instead regarding it as a tax-based insurance scheme covering "basic costs", and allowing private providers to enter the market.
[29]
He’s basically a quack for hire from what I can see. Dodgy testimony for Libyans, rent a doc for the right wing, alternative medicine. Last published anything of note over a decade ago.
