About
Mr Nigel Kirkpatrick was raised in a medical family in Northern Ireland and attended Campbell College in Belfast. He studied medicine at Bristol University, where he developed a strong interest in surgery. He credits his close friend and colleague, Masoud Teimory, for encouraging him to pursue a career in ophthalmology.
Mr Kirkpatrick completed his junior posts at Bristol University, St Thomas’ Hospital, and Bristol Eye Hospital. He then undertook five years as a registrar in Aberdeen, working with Professor John Forrester. In 1995, he completed a fellowship at the Royal Perth Hospital in Western Australia, training under Dr Ian McAllister and further refining his skills in ophthalmology.
