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 Health NZ Southern (Clinical Director of Plastic Surgery for 18 years) and in private practice at Fernbrae House, Mercy Hospital Dunedin, Health Central Alexandra, Cromwell Medical Centre and Wanaka Health Centre.
