Babar Akbar

Well well, looks like the Pakistani boy from the village at the foothills of the Himalayas has made it to Oxford for a PhD...😁🎓📖😱🕺🏻@UniofOxford @OxEBHC

An absolute pleasure to deliver this year’s @RCGPScotland SE faculty annual lecture - exploring the critical intersection between politics and healthcare. From workforce shortages to health inequalities, the system itself needs support and strategic change. @BabarAkbar

@RCGPSEScot @sigi_dr and @JohnGillies6 thanks for joining us! And congratulations to Sigi on her well earned Pat Manson Award 😃

@RCGPSEScot was delighted to host Sandesh for an evening of robust and meaningful debate on all things GP. Thank you for delivering the annual lecture 2025 @Sandeshgulhane

@DrGregorSmith @RAFMedReserves Great photos 🫡

An honour to attend the National Service of Remembrance with colleagues from 612 squadron @RAFMedReserves today. The sun shone on Edinburgh Castle as we paused to reflect on the remarkable service and sacrifice of our armed forces over many years. A very humbling experience

@Oohgpwales Well deserved! Congratulations you all! 😁😁😁

@KarenMcIntyrity @sabir_zazai @kaukabstewart @alison_phipps @RozaSalih @scotrefcouncil @bridgesprogs @UofGlasgow @RachelSandison @HerAfrican @COSLA Sounds great! Can't wait to hear all about it.

@yakabikaj Anyway in urdu would often be 'beherhaal' . In pushto we'd do a 'za' or 'khair', or ' za khair'!

@DrSarahMills Definitely shrugging it off. Thanks for the supportive words 😃🙌🏼

@BabarAkbar I’m so sorry Babar - this is disgusting behaviour and has no place in the NHS or in society. Shameful.

This is the bit where I savour the lovely life affirming comments from my fellow countrymen.... "Send me back" with my "wee doctor's bag" please 🤦🏽😒 #RefugeesWelcome

Will this be a day of Spanish triumphs.... 😬🤔🫣

@LizzyFerret And that is exactly why I love my Scotland! Thank you for the kindness fellow Scot! 💙🙏🏼🙌🏼😄

@BabarAkbar I’m so sad to see these comments, and I’m so sorry you had to read them too 😢 Personally I feel we’re incredibly lucky to have you; the resilience & life skills you bring with you to NHS Scotland can only be described as assets 💙 Thank you for your hard work, fellow Scot 🫶🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@sal_mahmoudd @now_its_nora 🤐🤐🤐🤐

@dr_shai Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😄

@BabarAkbar That is horrendous. I am very sorry you have had this. The NHS is dependent upon immigration and the skills of those from around the world. Thank you for all that you have given to the NHS.

@rachelgemma90 Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏼😀

@BabarAkbar 😢 These comments are VILE. I’m so sorry you had to read them.

@stevehornby79 🤐🤦🏽

@BabarAkbar You flying back or traveling by ‘bost’? 🙄

@saspist @now_its_nora 🙏🏼😀

@BabarAkbar @now_its_nora So sorry

@Valeria_Watt 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
