Professor Bilal Alkhaffaf

Consultant General Surgeon

MBChB, FRCS

I am a consultant surgeon at Salford Royal Hospital (Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust) where I specialise in the management of conditions which affect the upper gastrointestinal tract. These include obesity, oesophageal and gastric cancer, benign oesophageal and gastric disorders, acid reflux, hiatus hernia and achalasia. My clinical interests lie in advanced minimally invasive surgery including primary and revisional bariatric surgery, totally minimally invasive cancer surgery and complex benign surgery.

In addition to my extensive clinical practice, I am active in the field of research and training. I was appointed to the position of 'honorary MAHSC clinical professor' at the University of Manchester in recognition of my major contribution to my clinical specialty, including excellence in research and education. My research interest focuses on how results (outcomes) from surgery are reported.

My role extends to the teaching and training of other surgeons, and supervision of PhD students. I founded and lead an international programme to supervise the training of surgeons from abroad in advanced minimally invasive surgery.
