Sanjay Purkayastha is a Consultant General Surgeon with a specialist interest in Bariatric & Upper GI Surgery. He is also a Clinical Senior Lecturer (associate professor) at Imperial College, London. His research interests are varied and include surgical education especially digital mobile technologies, clinical research in bariatric and metabolic surgery, assessing the health of healthcare organizations, single port laparoscopic surgery and surgical evidence synthesis. He has a busy general surgery practice both for elective (planned) surgery and emergencies which include working as a trauma surgeon in one on London's busiest Major Trauma Centres at St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London. He was also one of the first surgeons in the UK to carry out robotic Bariatric surgery. He has been the consistently highest volume surgeon at the Imperial Weight Centre which is a Tier 3 and Tier 4 service for weight loss management and surgery for obesity.
