Dr Zaheer Akhter

I have extensive NHS experience across Emergency Medicine and Acute Internal Medicine at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust. Throughout my clinical career, I have developed a strong interest in fitness-to-work assessments, driver health, and occupational wellbeing.

Alongside my NHS role, I undertake work as a doctor within the D4 Drivers / D4 Group organisation, delivering driver medical assessments for both individual drivers and employees within large corporate organisations across the UK. My work includes providing depot-based medical clinics and supporting businesses in maintaining safe, compliant, and efficient workforce health standards.

I am currently undertaking postgraduate Occupational Health Diploma training, further strengthening my expertise in workplace health, driver fitness assessments, and occupational medicine to support safer and healthier working environments.
