Meet Dr Bazire

Education and experience

Having graduated from University College Hospital in London and worked in the NHS, Dr Bazire moved to Spain. In the early 1990s, he took up a General and Digestive Tract Surgery residency at Madrid's La Paz Hospital. He was part of a bariatric surgery team in Spain when this type of surgery was first introduced in the country.

Dr Bazire studied nutrition and longevity in a Master's degree from Madrid's Complutense University, before setting up his own practice in the Spanish city of Zamora. There, he advised patients about nutrition for weight management, as well as carrying out surgical and aesthetic procedures.

Now based in London, he continues to focus on the treatment of obesity, the promotion of healthy diets and lifestyles, and the prevention of obesity-related medical conditions. He is a member of several health-focused organisations, including The Nutrition Society, the World Obesity Federation and the European Association for the Study of Obesity.
