Zoe Barber is a consultant with a specialist interest in oncoplastic breast surgery at Nuffield Health Vale Hospital. She was awarded the Phebe Todd scholarship to study medicine at the University of Oxford and graduated in 2009. Zoe undertook her surgical training in Oxford, the South West of England, and Wales. In 2019, she received the ASGBI Gold Medal for the best performance in the FRCS examination.
As an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Authority, Zoe regularly teaches as an Associate Clinical Tutor for Cardiff University and as an Advanced Trauma Life Support Instructor for the Royal College of Surgeons of England. She holds an MA in Medical Sciences from the University of Oxford and has published in numerous medical journals. Additionally, Zoe has presented nationally and internationally and has been awarded prizes for her research.
After having an eclamptic seizure following the birth of her twins resulting in her driving licence being revoked for 6 months, she undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of seizure recurrence following eclampsia and presented her findings to the DVLA. As a result, the national guidance was changed, preventing other eclamptic women from having their driving licence revoked in the future.
In her personal life, Zoe is a keen runner and represented the University of Oxford in athletics, cross country, and cycling. She won the National Duathlon Championships and was selected to represent Great Britain in the World Duathlon Championships while at medical school. Nowadays, she spends most of her running time pushing her twins in a double-running buggy. She lives in the Vale of Glamorgan with her husband, who is also a surgeon, and their twin daughters.

Really welcoming and reassuring , Dr Barbar was great.
My experience couldn’t have been better. Zoe is warm, empathetic and professional. Her kind and caring nature shines through making the whole experience calm and informative. Thank you.
Zoe is an absolutely incredible surgeon and human. She is firmly patient centred in everything she does, and really cares about us as people too! She is honest, positive and incredibly invested in maintaining dignity and providing the best possible outcome whilst managing expectations respectfully.
Zoe Barber is an amazing doctor! Zoe is proffesional, knowledgeable, practical and very skilled in her art. She has a fantastically upbeat demeanour, reassuring manner and is equally approachable. During our appointment she thoroughly reassured both my husdand and I. Her knowledge of the endocrine system and effects of reproductive hormones following a cancer diagnosis was a bonus conversation to our appointment. We came away from the appointment totally satisfied and with a clear picture of potential future treatment strategies. Thank you!
I had breast augmentation May 2025, from my first consultation I was instantly at ease and had booked my surgery within a few hours. Zoe listened to what I was expecting and her advise was incredible, always being understanding no question was too silly, I had two consultations, and the time spent making sure I was happy with the size put me at even more ease. My surgery day Zoe again went above and beyond, ensuring I was comfortable and happy, my hospital stay was easy, comfortable and so person centred. Zoe checked in a few times after surgery also, and even a few days after my surgery when I had a question it was answered with in an hour. The level of care, professionalism and time spent to go over things honestly I couldn’t have asked for better care. I’d defiantly recommend Zoe, and iv had experience from a few other companies consultations that didn’t make me feel at ease, I felt rushed and felt like I was just a sale. I didn’t once feel like this with Zoe. I’m really happy. Thank you for giving me my confidence back. I had weight loss surgery with Nuffield in 2024, and this was the last part of my journey. Zoe Barber is incredible, as is the whole of the care team.
The most empathetic and thorough consultation I have ever had
Miss Barber was thorough, kind, approachable, & extremely professional in her manner from the initial consultation to follow up discussions. She was happy to explain things in detail to me ensuring that I understood everything properly and allowing me plenty of time to ask questions.. I feel that her and her colleagues left no stone unturned in order to provide me with the correct information.
I suffer severe health anxiety and that on top of my concerns i was so upset and anxious, zoe explained everything in detail and reassured me that all was ok, her a professionalism and caring nature was second to none & i would definitely recommend zoe & the whole team involved. I shed tears of joy after anxiously waiting to have tests, the tests didn't take long and wasnt hanging about waiting for results, so left there straight away with the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders, thanks ever so much zoe & team X x
