Patrick Lyall

My training had taken me all over New Zealand and the World but I always felt drawn to Dunedin. I was born in Dunedin and went to Medical School here (graduated 1992). I also received a scholarship to study and teach anatomy in Dublin (UDC, graduated 1995). I trained in all the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Departments in New Zealand (specialist training completed 2004) then subsequently returned to the UK to gain more experience in cosmetic, hand, breast and microsurgery. I returned to Dunedin in 2007 to start the Plastic Surgery Department and to develop and teach a post-graduate course in surgical anatomy at the University of Otago. I work at Southern DHB (Clinical Director of Plastic Surgery) and in private practice at Fernbrae House, Mercy Hospital Dunedin, Health Central Alexandra, Cromwell Medical Centre and Wanaka Health Centre.
