Professor Khurshid Akhtar

 I am a Consultant General and Upper GI Surgeon with a
special interest in Oesophagus and Stomach cancer, Gastroesophageal Reflux
Disease, Hiatus Hernia, Bariatric surgery, Gall Stones and keyhole Hernia
Surgery. 

I have been a consultant surgeon for over 20 years,
initially at the Pennine Trust and since 2010 at the Salford Royal Foundation
Trust. At the Salford Royal Hospital, I work in the Department of Upper GI Surgery
which is one of the largest Upper GI Surgical Unit in the country.  

I belief in lifelong learning and over the years I have
acquired extensive expertise and experience in my field of interest. I use all
my knowledge and skill to provide a best possible care to my patients.  

Every patient is an individual with personal needs and requirements.
When I am recommending a treatment to my patient, I always make sure that I
have given a careful consideration to everything which may be important. I am
very pleased that I have thousands of happy patients who I have had the privilege
to treat over the years.

oesophagus and bariatric surgery.
