Patrick has practiced medicine in both rural and urban community and hospital settings in Canada and also in the UK and Ireland. In addition to the usual GP postgraduate medical training, he has extensive training and experience in integrative/ functional medicine. Whilst in Canada he was a coroner/ medical examiner. From 1994 until 2003 he was a clinical teacher with the University of California Los Angeles Medical Acupuncture and Pain Management for Physicians programme.

The best part of Patrick’s professional life is seeing people who may have struggled for years with poor health, begin to ‘really live’ again. He loves working with patients to transform a life of daily health struggle to one which once more has energy, fun and enjoyment in it and feels very privileged to do this work. Frequently people may have suffered quietly for years and almost given up hope: “Then …there sometimes comes the moment in the course of an individual’s treatment programme where they may say something to the effect of: “I don’t want to put a hex on it but I feel as though someone is opening heavy curtains and letting light back in to my life, that the tide is finally turning after all those years. I now have energy until much later in the day, I am sleeping properly and I wake refreshed. I now can concentrate consistently at work and the brain is working again. I now drive without constantly dreading that I might crash into somebody”
