Patrick Walsh completed his undergraduate medical degree at the University of Otago in 1995. Prior to this, he had undertaken a Bachelor of Science majoring in human nutrition.
Patrick then moved to Sydney and undertook his junior training through the St. Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Following this, he undertook advanced training at the Concord Repatriation General Hospital in Sydney. He then did his final year of training doing endoscopic ultrasound and advanced endoscopy at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, Sydney.
Patrick established Digestive Diseases Queensland in 2006 with Dr Ben Devereaux and through this private practice offers a wide range of quality consultation in general gastroenterology as well as specialised areas of endoscopic ultrasound, bariatric endoscopy and therapeutic endoscopy.
Since then, Patrick has developed expertise in the complex post-operative management of surgical leaks, especially in the bariatric population. Patrick is frequently an invited speaker in the surgical forums to discuss the emerging role of endoscopy in the bariatric population.
