His clinical expertise covers a wide range of benign UGI and general surgical conditions, with a focus on minimally invasive and robotic techniques for oesophageal and gastric cancer, as well as primary and revisional bariatric surgery.

Mr Akbari completed his higher surgical training at the Oxford UGI Specialist Centre and was awarded the UK’s first Royal College of Surgeons-approved fellowship in robotic UGI surgery. He has held consultant roles at high-volume centres in Oxford and Birmingham, gaining substantial experience in complex UGI and bariatric procedures.
